Max 9 and Us

Home and a gas fire

Last week there was a terrible scare with a Max 9 aircraft when a door fell off in the air.  No one was lost but it was very frightening.  So all Max 9 aircraft needed to be inspected.  That meant our flight for today was cancelled.  I spent a lot of time yesterday rescheduling for tomorrow--time on my United app and on the phone. 

 We woke up this morning to another text message saying our flight for tomorrow was cancelled too.  Jim got on the phone this time working with someone who was trying for different airlines.  Their connection got cut off!  He tried again and now we are scheduled for Saturday afternoon arriving in Tampa in the evening.  

So we lose two days in Florida.  That is not so bad.  If that flight gets cancelled again, I may have to see if the travel insurance I bought covers the condo fees.  At some point, we would give up and get our money back on the flight at least.  

It is a direct flight--out of Newark--so that is good.  We are familiar with the area around the condo so we can figure out food when we arrive.  And drinks!  

I am stressed but am grateful to be home and not in an airport.  But now I am convinced this needs to be our last Florida trip!
