Happy to be Home

Yesterday was a comedy of errors. We were scheduled for a 1:00 flight out of Newark and finally left around 10:45pm. We got to the airport at 11am and everything was running on time. We finally got an update on our flight around 1:15 that they couldn't find it and it had been circling around Baltimore because of a weather hold. Well, while circling it ran out of fuel so it had to be diverted to refuel. It kept getting pushed back. Finally, at around 4:00 it landed at Newark only to have a hydraulic leek and be out of service. (the flight got canceled) We were lucky enough that they had compassion for us because we were flying with Camryn and jetblue got us on the next flight. There were only 15 seats so most people either had to be rescheduled for the next day or get to a different airport. Well, the next flight was also delayed because of inclement weather on the east coast and didn't get in until 9:30. We finally got on the plane around 10:15 and home around 2:00 in the morning. Camryn was such a trooper. I have to say how lucky my husband and I are that we do a have a rather easy going baby. She's got the normal toddler stuff going on but she really went with the flow. She slept the whole flight because it was obviously past her bedtime and went right to sleep once we finally made it home. Oh wait, I almost forgot...they lost our luggage too and we are still waiting for it:)  Glad to be home with my dogs!  Thank you to JETBLUE for making sure we got on the next flight and for all your compensation after the fact.
