Did your daughter get home from Chicago yet? That storm and the accident even affected flights in Europe. Mr. RR's flight from Riga was cancelled. The plane he was supposed to get on originated in Chicago, so it never made it to Latvia. I spent half the night on the computer trying to get him on a flight. Finally, I managed to get him on a Lufthansa flight to Denver. Of course he will miss his connecting flight to Rapid City. but I think he will finally get home about 11:30 tonight. (He's been gone for nearly two weeks, I need to go shave my legs.... LOL) My son's flight from Shanghai was not affected. He made it home this morning with no problems. Air travel is not fun.

Yes she did, thank you for asking. The airlines apparently handled things very well this morning when Midway reopened and outbound flights went very smoothly.

Prayers for the 6 yr old's family. What a tragedy.

I'm very glad to hear everyone is home safe!!

With your expertise on finding flights and your extensive travels you and Mr RR should apply for The Amazing Race. :)
