Finally Made It

We made sure to get to the airport really early this time. We left home right after lunch and arrived at Dulles around one o´clock.

 

Checking in was easier as our bags were already at the airport. The TSA lines were longer, but they had more gates open, so it was actually quicker. If we could have gotten through the process as efficiently the day before, we would have made the flight.

 

We got to the gate and hung out all afternoon. We had a nice dinner and hung out some more. The flight was scheduled to board at 9:00 PM and leave at 9:45. At 8:50 the gate agent announced that there was a mechanical problem with the plane and the flight would be delayed. We were finally able to board a few minutes after midnight.

 

On the bright side, at least we were not getting on the plane on Friday the 13th.

 

It was a long day and a long flight (10 and half hours). We are finally in Buenos Aires and are going to our first tango show this evening.
