I was driving to New York today to go to a meeting in Moscow, and the next thing I knew I was turning around and leaving for Russia on Saturday afternoon.
Bad weather in Frankfurt delayed my flight and I was going to miss my meeting even if I went. Somehow though, even though my flight was delayed, everything fell into order perfectly:
- I had decided to drive myself to JFK even though I have NEVER done that before. I always take a car.
- I made a stupid decision when I was 45 minutes into my drive to turn around and to back to CT once I got the phone call my flight was delayed. I say stupid because what did I think I was going to do once I got back to CT? And once I got back, I was going to have to drive to NY at 10pm (which is waaaay past my bedtime)
- Ammie was headed back to the office late so I was going to be able to meet up with her to figure out the schedule.
- Ammie accidentally dialed the normal travel agent instead of the after hours travel
- Our amazing travel agent, Dee, was there 2.5 hours after the office was technically closed, which was lucky because we had no idea what to do.
So all the stars aligned perfectly, and now I am going to have my meeting in New York and leave for Russia on Saturday.
