Day 11 - Last day? Or not?

We almost made it home without issue.  Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) we are actually staying in one more hotel tonight.  Our final flight was cancelled and we are not home yet. Of course, there was nothing we could board either.  All flights were full and were "stand by" only so they offered to put us up for the night and give us a voucher for dinner.  Some people could get really upset by this and actually just a few people ahead of us had a similar issue on a different flight and were irate long before they even talked with anyone.  Had they just waited the ten minutes, they would have talked to a person at customer service and found that they were already booked on the next flight out to their destination only 30 minutes after their original flight was scheduled to board.  I would have been so embarrassed if I had caused such a stink and talked to people the way she did without listening at all.

For us though, the next flight they had us booked on is not until tomorrow morning.  I can understand people getting really frustrated by that particularly when one hasn't had any sleep in almost 24 hours.  However, for Dave and me this really wasn't a huge inconvenience.  Was it inconvenient? Yes but it's not like we had things booked or places we have to be.  There are so many things that are worth getting into a tizzy over (maybe that other couple had one of those reasons) but we didn't have one of those.  I felt badly as my mother took the day off of work just to be there for us when we got home but tomorrow is Saturday and we can see her tomorrow too.  Had we come home tonight I don't really know how much company we would have been since we were so exhausted.  We'll be tired tomorrow but not the same way; at least I won't be.  Dave might.

There's actually a small part of me that is kind of grateful that we got stuck here.  We had thought we would maybe go out and check out this new town but we were just too tired.  When we got to our room we collapse into a dead sleep.  Then we ordered room service and have spent our evening resting, cuddling, and just chilling.  In many ways, we are getting to continue our honeymoon vacation just one more day longer.
