Journey to Ivie Day 1
Brought to you by rainy Chicago and the O'Hare Hilton.
That's right I said Chicago - we are still stateside.
We got to the airport in Milwaukee no problem. They announced that our flight was overbooked and offered to send people by bus to O'Hare arriving at 10:10 and you would get a free ticket. Our flight to Hong Kong was at 10:48 so we chose not to do this - we did not choose wisely.
When we boarded the plane we were informed that there was a delay in Chicago and we would have to wait. We waited on the runway for 1 hour. At that point we were allowed to go back to the gate and wait one more hour. By this time we had missed our connecting flight.
We arrived in Chicago at 12:15. The airline booked us on the 12:18 flight which we of course missed. So we got rebooked on a flight out tomorrow at 12:18.
We will arrive in Hong Kong at 4:50 pm (in theory and barring any other weather delays). We will miss the scheduled tour of the city. But luckily we will be there in enough time to make our flight to Nanchang on Saturday.
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Please post your comments, we'd love to hear from you.

Sorry to hear about the plane issues. Hopefully you can enjoy the O'Hare Hilton, with its poor views of a remarkable airport. Wait, strike that, reverse it.
At least get to the Lobby Bar, right in the lobby, and listen to the piano guy. He's actually very good.
