Be careful what you wish for!

Lenny May 11, 2016 Musings Leave a Comment 1175 Views

I really didn’t want to leave Belgium.  I was having the most wonderful time and had fallen completely in love with the country.  But still I packed up my belongings and got on the train.  And it wasn’t until after I got through the additional security at Brussels Airport that I discovered that my flight had been canceled!

So I, erm, got my wish.  I don’t need to leave (or rather I can’t).  I’ve got an extra night in Belgium but I’ve also had to cancel three separate plans for tomorrow.  Things like this are out of my control –  preventing strikes isn’t in my skillset – so I’m making the best of things.  I had a lovely dinner, accompanied by beer, and I’m writing this snuggled up in a very comfortable hotel bed (too much information?).

But, please, can everyone keep their fingers crossed that I manage to get on a flight tomorrow.  Otherwise the next few days are going to get incredibly complicated.  And the risk of running out of clean clothes will be the least of my problems.

UPDATE:  It all turned out okay.  I got to spend an extra day in Bruges and my new flight left as scheduled (albeit a little late), so it was just a little 24-hour delay.
