take three?

We are still in Utah. We had initally planned on heading back on the 29th but then Mallory got engaged (more on that later) and I wanted to see her and do a little wedding shopping/planning and Quinn wanted to meet Mark (her fiance) so we decided to extend until the 1st since Quinn didn't have to be back to work until Monday.

So bright and early this morning we headed up to the airport. We took off. About 20+ minutes into the flight the Captain told us we lost an engine and we were heading back. We landed just fine, just with a few fire trucks to greet us. Then the ordeal of getting rebooked started. They rescheduled the flight for later that afternoon but for us that was too late, there was no way we could make a connection in Cincinnati that day. Saturday was booked too. So we are here until Sunday but without luggage--which will probably make it to Raleigh tomorrow. Thankfully we have family here. We called my Dad and he was nice enough to trek back up to the airport to pick us up.

We have had a wonderful vacation (more on that later as well) here and are glad we get to spend a couple more days here.

Grandpa and I are glad that all went well with your aborted flight and that you are safe and sound with your folks. Congratulations to Mallory but even greater congratulations to her fiance Mark. Better luck on your flight tomorrow. We will be thinking of you.

Air travel is so great isn't it? Glad you are having fun, though and not sleeping in an airport.
