Frankfurt

With a bit of delay I made it to Frankfurt last night but it seems I was just too late to be let on to the connecting flight to Toronto.  After some puppy dog eyes and an attempt at a Christmas lie by telling the agent I was going home for the first time in 2 years and hadn't seen my children in just as long I realized there was nothing they could do.  It could have been my poor acting or that I went a bit too far in my lie but the agent did not seem overly sympathetic.  Many people missed that same connection so we all had to give up and start making our plan B.

I was re-booked on the exact same flight 24 hours later.  I could have gotten to Toronto sooner the next day but there were no other options for the flight to Regina so I had to choose between staying longer in a hotel in Germany or in the Pearson Airport.  I decided on the hotel where I could get a night's rest, a few free meals and a shower.

Now, some 18 hours later I'm getting ready to check out and get back to the second half of the trip (even though I'm still not even technically halfway).   The weather is promising in Frankfurt so I shouldn't have any issues getting out of here but, as if I was waiting on federal election results back home, my fate lies with Toronto.
