About 3 hours out of Frankfurt, our captain came over the intercom and told us that our weather radar was broken, and due to an upcoming storm, it made it both illegal and dangerous for us to continue flying without a functioning radar.
We proceeded to land in Dublin so that a mechanic could determine how bad the problem was. After 4 or 5 hours in the airplane, they determined that the part needed had to come from London, which would take 6 hours.
Meanwhile, it's a holiday in Ireland, and every possible flight to any possible location was booked full. The airline is putting us up in a hotel, paying for 3 meals and our rooms. We hope that everything will go well. We board the bus at 2:30 tomorrow morning, and our plane leaves at 6 for Frankfurt.
So, today, we get to explore the countryside of Ireland!! I'm so excite for our unplanned detour!! But yes, we are safe, well, and excited!!
Blessings on all that you do!
So by now you are (hopefully) into the itinerary portion of your journey?
ReplyDeleteWe Love you!
Hello Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteAs I had mentioned, do you think it would be possible to Skype you into our Mission Moment this Sunday? We would do that at 10:25am CDT. I'm not exactly sure how Skype works, but I will find out.
Hope you are settled in and telling the folks the best Good News of their lives!
Blessings!
Pastor Jim
