our re-route from Jet Airways was delayed by 1.5 hrs! So instead of flying to Nice through Brussels with Jet Airways, we flew through Frankfurt, but we didn’t leave Toronto until after 11:30pm, over 5 hours late! Thankfully they were able to move Guillermo from a middle seat (he has freakishly long legs) and next to me. Since the AC flight was delayed, we missed our re-routed connection to Nice and had to wait in the Frankfurt airport for about 4 hours. We were very pleased and a bit surprised when we saw our luggage rolling out on the conveyor…. we were sure it would be lost!

The trip to the hostel in Nice was a bit unsettling as we couldn’t figure out where the bus was actually going, but we made it to the rendez-vous point where we were picked up by the hostel. It’s a pretty nice place and we have our own room and bathroom (the only way I would stay in a hostel). By the time we checked in it was after 7.. a full 6 hours later than we were expecting to be here.

We trammed down to the DT area, ate dinner, walked around a bit and then decided to come back and crash since we were super tired and it turned into a pretty chilly night. What we saw (in the dark, mind you) was really pretty and we are looking forward to seeing it in daylight tomorow!

so our 6:25 jet airways flight got delayed. we were to go to Brussels and then connect to nice. we got to Pearson at around 3:30 and now it’s almost 9. we have been re-routed through frankfort on air Canada.

getting info and then our boarding passes was so stressful! they called us up to the counter at around 7 and then we stood there for literally an hour. this manager-type standing right in front of us behind the counter ignored us for a while and finally told us to sit down after telling us briefly about our re-route. so we sat and watched others get their tickets before us until we were like, what us going on here?? and went back to the desk. after saying excuse me a few times, they remembered us and we got out tickets.

that’s just part of it… it was almost as difficult to ensure that our checked luggage was re-ticketed so that it ends up in nice when we do!

anyway, it’s not as bad as it sounds. we will arrive about 3hrs later than planned, which does suck a bit but it’s not the end of the world. G got to start Harry potter 5 and I am actually not too sure what I’ve been doing. we are now waiting for the flight to board. we both have middle seats!
