Stuck in Washington D.C.

Sorry, but comments are closed

Isabel (Ms Investment Postcards) and I have just heard what we were not bargaining on – our flight from Washington D.C. has been delayed by 15 hours! Indeed, news from hell.

Stuck at an airport hotel with only our small cabin bags (i.e. no clothing besides what we are wearing!) is not quite what we have had planned for the night, but I guess it could have been worse. Imagine the mechanical problem having occurred in mid-air, or our being stuck overnight in Dakar (where the South African Airways planes refuel).

I have pre-loaded a few snippets to be posted on the site over the next day or two, but I am afraid regular posting will now only get back on track by Wednesday. Please persevere and do not unsubscribe yet – this is not a “new normal” and the usual delivery will be restored later this week.

Meanwhile, we have wonderful memories of a great few days in Dallas and most enjoyable 60th birthday celebrations of friend John Mauldin. And a pair of cowboy boots in my checked luggage – whenever I may see the bag again.
