Northwest sucks!

As I type this it is almost 7am, and I'm NOT sitting on a 6am flight headed to Honolulu by way of Minneapolis!

Yep, at exactly 2:09am this morning we received a nice little wake-up call from some cheerful automated woman to tell us that our flight had been canceled. I have worried about this for the last couple of months due to all the bad press Northwest Airlines has been receiving regarding their statistics of canceling flights. However, I've heard that they typically cancel flights towards the end of the month. October 5th? I thought we might be OK. Obviously not!

They rescheduled us so we don't leave Peoria until 11:00 this morning. Unfortunately, we won't get to Honolulu until 8:30pm vs. 2:30pm as originally scheduled. That means we just lost 1/2 a day of vacation. Also, we now have an extra transfer, we're flying 3 different airlines, and we only have an hour layover in LA! Considering these factors, I'll consider ourselves lucky to be in Hawaii by 8:30pm...with our luggage!

Oh, well- I just need to look at the big picture and pray that we'll make it there safely. Still very frustrating to have everything planned out only to have it changed at the last minute. Not to mention that poor Harli could have stayed an extra night at home with us!

Please pray for our safe travels. We know we'll need it as we're booked on Northwest Airlines for our return flight home, too. Although being stuck in Hawaii has got to be better than being stuck in Peoria! :)
