Looking forward to getting to see the Delta Queen and also getting to tag along on your tour (if we can).

I happened to go into the website yesterday where I booked our airline tickets and discovered that Delta has changed our flights (that I spent days and days planning and then booked, confirmed and PAID for). I wonder exactly when they were going to tell us. Now they have added an extra stop on our return trip AND, get this, we end up having TWO minutes to change planes in Atlanta........don't even ask why we are going to Atlanta from Columbus. LOL.

Anyway, I need to get on the phone and fight this out with them. I am not looking forward to this. The airlines lately seem to act as if they are doing you a favor to let you fly on their planes and if they want to change your flight schedule, they don't much care if you like it or not. They don't even ASK if they can move you to a different flight, that's what gets me. We sure can't run our business that way. :-(

I guess if you are going to fly anywhere anymore, you'd better be flexible and have a LOT of patience......unfortunately, my husband has neither of these qualities. This should be interesting. LOL.

Changing your flight is surely a mystery to me. I suppose it could be a result of all the merging going on. The stop in Atlanta is no mystery however. We on this side of the Mississippi have always known that you can't even go to Heaven without going through Atlanta.

I hate for them to dork up your plans. Tell them I shall pronounce a curse upon them if they get too uppity (not the planes, just the people who make arbitrary decisions).

You will really enjoy the riverboat, and yes, I will sneak you in with my group. Maybe I can talk my boss into letting me be Katie Ulen on the tour that day. I can hardly wait.
