Heading out or so we thought

I started my day out around 6:30am so we could meet Greg at the airport by 10am.  We got about half way to DC when Greg called and said they changed the flight to 2pm.  Ok we just agreed to meet up and hang out.  About the time we found a place to pull off and meet Greg called again and they had changed the flight to 4:20pm.  We decided to go for lunch at this point and Greg couldn't find the place we had pulled off.  So we met at Hard Times Cafe in Old Town.  We had a fabulous lunch and then went directly to the airport to try to resolve the missing flights and connections problem.  We arrived and waited in line, after parking in 2 separate garages and having to find each other, to find out what to do next.  The lady told us we had to use the check in kiosk.  We checked and all of our connections were the same and we would have missed them all.  So we went and waited in another line.  We waited there while an older gentleman and his family argued that he should get 2 free bags that are checked.  After about 15 minutes of this there was some sort of resolution and it was our turn.  The man at the counter checked everything and the earliest flight he could get us was for tomorrow at 11:51am.  So we told him we wanted to be put up in a hotel.  He said he could at least get us a discount and we argued a little bit with him.  He did get us a free hotel stay.  He told us it was the Hilton airport hotel.  How we were supposed to know where that was I don't know, but the first try we ended up in Old Town.  That was not the right one they told us it was Crystal City.  So as we drove to Crystal City we made a wrong turn and ended up back at the airport.  We took a 20 minute detour and finally arrived.  My Mom and Dad were there for all of this.  They brought me down this morning and they were waiting to take my care home with them.  They were very patient even though driving around down here can make you crazy.  Greg was fairly calm through the whole thing as well.  I believe I would have felt more pressure and not have been as easy going as I usually am.  So I am grateful for everyone involved and the way it worked out.  All this to say we are at the Hilton now resting and enjoying the time we finally have together.
