We woke in the morning to find the ground covered in snow. The wind was blowing it sideways, but the little bunnies in the bushes near the parking lot were still hopping around, so they were obviously used to it.
We got to the airport very early because it took so much time to get the rental back. But our plane was still an hour late taking off because we had to get de-iced. They power-sprayed the plane with chemicals.
I was not very pleased we were in a small plane. At least it was not a prop, but it scared me. Sure enough, the ride was more bumpy, so I took some extra dramamine---never a good idea if you want to remain coherent.
When we arrived in St. Louis (all flights had been booked full weeks before, so we took an odd route), our plane had already left the airport! Mr. was livid. AA could not book us on any other flight home as they were all booked. Our best option--if we were to travel together, was to wait until morning. So she SAID she would arrange to get our luggage sent to the baggage claim area, but it never arrived. We waited a couple of hours!
We decided to head in to try to get on standby--even though many other people were on standby already. But when we were with a ticketing agent (the first class one---since we are platinum members of AA), by God's abundant grace FIVE spots opened up suddenly!!!!! She booked us and we were on the 7pm flight headed home!!!!
Well, our luggage---who knows. They thought it was sent on to Austin, but when we got to Austin, they didn't know where it was. They said it would be sent home to us around midnight---but no one came at midnight. It is 11 am and still no luggage.
If God can get us home in one day, He can bring our luggage. I trust He has it all under control---because I sure do not.
