His first flight cancelled due to mechanical issues. The next flight they had available that could take all of the group was at 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
Today he calls me from Newark - he's still there - they missed the connection to Rome! So they have had to stay in Newark. They now split the group - he and 6 others are supposed to leave on an Alitalia flight later today.
Oh and his bags are somewhere...
His attitude is good! Glad he's having these experiences.
As a seasoned traveler I've learned its all part of the journey and makes for GREAT stories later. It's all good.
And, like I told him, "Rome will still be there when you arrive!"
But these kinds of hassles is the main reason I never travel during the summer unless I absolutely have to.
