Still... Here

So, we are still in Belfast. It's Monday evening here and we were originally supposed to be gone Saturday afternoon. Our rebooked flight for today got cancelled, believe it or not, and so we are still hanging in there. But, we are taking action instead of sitting around biding our time. We were able to get a bus from here, across the ferry, to London. From there we will catch a boat or train to Belguim and then on to Germany. We are going to Belguim from London instead of Paris because we found out that the rail is on strike in France so we will avoid it now and maybe see it later. We leave here (hopefully) at 4:00 Tuesday afternoon and arrive in London at 6:00 the next morning. Then we will see how long it takes to get to Germany from there. Fun, I know, but we figure it's better than hoping the planes will somehow become faithful again. We'll take the time and go by bus, even if it takes an eternity. We should have done this right off the bat, but, of course, we were still very optimistic at that point. See you on the other side of this whole thing.
