Flying to Croatia
OK, from now on London is off our list of airports! Virgin Atlantic flight was four hours late because of the storm and we’d been sent from one Terminal to another for about three hours. We’re finally re-booked on a flight to Budapest at 8 o’clock tonight. Yes, Budapest. God bless my sister and brother-in-law for their endless patience with our travel troubles.

UPDATE: We have arrived! (27 hours later and minus our luggage.)

That’s why I prefer CDG Paris. Good luck with rest of journey.

really sorry about this,we are in a big s… but heard about the same issue with New York from a woman sitting next to me on my flight from Heathrow to Pleso…it seems some cities are better to avoid! well do some shopping if you can and soon you’re in Croatia!

Ja nisam vidio zmotaniji aerodrom od onog CDG-a. Zato uvijek preporučam Amsterdamski Schipol, uz kojeg me vežu samo dobra iskustva i sjećanja…

@naftas - yes, i’ve never had trouble in paris. london and new york are the worst airports to fly through or to, i think.
@london column - oh, you’d better believe it that we did some serious damage. the delay may be a pain in the neck, but heathrow sure has some nice stores!

I like how you always find the silver lining, delay = shopping :))

You can’t go against the nature!
Kaj mislis kak je nama, nekoliko dana za redom kisa.
bar si shopirala za to vrijeme.

minus our luggage - horror of flying

@petra - well, two suitcases are arriving today, two tomorrow. i just hope that the first ones to arrive are the ones with our clothes, and not the ones with all the presents.

Za tebe znam da si ok, a kako je malena podnijela put?

Samo da ti javim da mi je prijateljica isla preko Frankfurta s Luftansom u srijedu - ista stvar 4 sata zakasnjenja u startu zbog loseg vremena, izgubila vezu za Split i ceka da li ce biti danas ili sutra jedno mjesto na avionu za Zg. Jos si dobro prosla jer znas kuda ides i da ima karata. Sretno s prtljagom.

Nisam sad mislila to sarkasticno, nego tocno znam kako to izgleda kad ne spavas satima, ili danima u istoj obleki i kad ti se svi planovi poremete, jedva cekas godisnji…a nista da bi si sama promjenila situaciju. Kako je mala princeza izdrzala?
Comment by Nikany — June 29, 2007 @ 1:18 pm
@pupa - od prtljage jos nista, ali mi ipak uzivamo!
@maja - neugodno mi je priznati, ali mala je sve to daleko bolje podnijela nego ja. ona je sva cvala od srece i stalno ponavljala, “mommy, isn’t this a great adventure?!”
@nikany - znam da sam dobro prosla jer sam barem sretno i sigurno stigla doma. nemanje prtljage je svakako inconvenient, ali nikako jednako lose kao provoditi nekoliko dana na aerodromu s trogodisnjim djetetom. zato sam odmah i inzistirala da me se stavi na prvi let relativno blizu doma.

Ugh, sorry to hear about the terrible travel… 27 hours from NYC to ZG?! OUCH!
I’ve taken off London looong time ago as a transfer point. Amsterdam’s Schiphol is my favorite.
Good luck with finding the luggage!
At least now you can relax with your family and (probably) tons of food they will be feeding you with.
