In a former life, a painter, a sculptor, a poet, a designer, a reader, an academic. But a woman who spurns definition by just one. My blogs chart our family's journeys around the world, searching out those unbelievable moments, both mundane and profound, that make me so happy to be alive.

Say What?????

Early morning are bad enough with kids.  Very early mornings are worse.  And what should have been a quick pass through of the Denver International Airport has become a full day in airport hell.  

Love to travel. Hate Airlines.  

So our flight from Denver to Washington Dulles was late, so it was going to make us miss our connection to Zurich.  So Dave rushes to Customer Service to stand in Limbo for what seemed like an hour, and we were reassigned a new flight with Lufthunsa from Denver to Frankfurt to Zurich.  Right. So, we would have to spend 5 1/2 hours in DIA with 2 children. Yipee!  I'm writing from the Mezzanine level of the A Terminal where few people walk and where it is relatively quite (take note all moms who travel through DIA).  We've sprawled out and have a mailing address here now.  Feel free to write us care of the DIA.  

And Dave's PR gal just rearranged his interview schedule for the Weekly Commentary (see www.mcalvany.com) to be Monday at 3:30pm.  (We get into Zurich at 2pm).  He's not happy.  Originally he had scheduled an interview for Tuesday and again for another one on Thursday.  She changed it all and gave him back to back interviews on Monday.  Which means he's in a horrid scramble to prepare for tomorrow.  Yeah, right. With kids in tow? Who has time to read anything?  Like I said, he's not happy.

So, we'll keep you posted. More tomorrow. Or the day after.  Tschuss.

    Way to go! Proud of you guys! Enjoy Bangalore... Ironically, they have great Chinese food! Which you know has just been changed to Bengalaru (whatever!) ...

    That's nuts. Get this--I was stuck at DIA the same day you were. Delayed, re-routed, etc. Wish I would've known. Helping with the kids would have been a nice break. Delta finally put me up for the night & I flew out the next day. I hope the rest of your trip to Zurich was less eventful.

    I'm bummed we didn't hook up before you left. I love the reference to Anne. I love those movies. Maybe we can have a movie-thon when you get back! So fun to keep up while you are on the way! Take care and have a blast.

    The great memories you will have, from this trip, will over shadow the airline trouble. One day Dave will be able to laugh at being spread out in DIA!! We love you, Dave and the boys!! Have fun and be safe!
