It was going to be a long day, since we are flying <em>with<\/em> the daylight. We have done this before, so no issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Got an upgrade on our flight and Pieter was even able to nap for a while for the first time ever on a plane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On our flight we found out that our flight from Boston to Orlando was going to be delayed by an hour. Since we already had a five hour layover, we decided to head into Boston for lunch. We took the subway to the city and got off at a random stop. A block from the oldest restaurant in the USA.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a nice lunch we headed back to the airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time we got to the airport, our flight was delayed even more. As the evening went on, the delay got later and later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all kept hoping for that chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just after midnight, they completely cancelled our flight. Pieter went to stand in line at the check-in counter to see what our options are, and Kenn went off to find our checked luggage. To put it nicely, at that point of the night there are very few people still working  at the airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The earliest the airline could get us to Orlando with all the full flights, was on Thursday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely exhausted, we found a random hotel, and we found space on a different airline for Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now of to sleep after what feels like a long time of living like a zombie, stumbling around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
