Sunday, Oct 28

We got home from our walk on Sunday, listened and watched the internet for info about Sandy. We felt that our return flight scheduled for Tuesday might be canceled so we called the airline, Open Skies. They told us that both Monday and Tuesday flights were still OK. We checked with them about rescheduling and they told us we could do that without penalty but the soonest would be for the following Saturday. We decided to take the seats for Saturday thus extending our visit here for four more days. Life is tough! It's a good thing that we did because on Monday morning, they announced that both Monday and Tuesday flights had been canceled. If we had waited until actual cancelation, we wondered if we would have had to reschedule into next week along with all the others on the canceled flights.The airline waited longer than many of the American ones to cancel flights. Part of the problem was that the American airlines wanted their planes out of Newark, whereas Open Skies flies in from Paris and then returns several hours later so that their planes are not there for a long period of time. In any event we are here for a few more days and I will add a few more postings before Saturday.
