We had a decent flight from London to Philadelphia and actually got a nice view of Cape Cod as we passed over the Massachusetts coastline (shout out to Rob!). Everything was going absolutely fine for our connection to the St Louis flight but then we found out it was delayed by 2 hours, then another hour, then we all boarded and waited for a pilot to arrive. The pilot showed up, but there was no First Officer with him so we all had to get off the plane and wait another hour for that guy to fly in from Miami, and then we boarded again and left. Made it to St Louis around 01:00 am and the rental car place was shut (although the call center had assured me that someone would be there since our reservation was tied to the flight info). Anyway, eventually we called an Uber and the lovely Yousef took Rhi and I to the hotel around 02:15 and we climbed into bed, grateful to have arrived!
We slept until 10:00 am and had some breakfast from Starbucks across the street, then got Yousef to drive us back to the airport so that we could pick up the rental car. Then we went to get our nails done over at a nail place near Straubs and did a bit of grocery shopping before getting ready for dinner. Rhiannon and Wylie had a happy reunion and we went for dinner at Flemings.
We had a lovely dinner and then went to sleep quite early so we could be ready for the big first day of school tomorrow!
