All that anticipation, excitement put on hold! My flight was cancelled out of LAX to Paris. Oh well, it could be soooo much worse. I'll be on a flight tomorrow!

Thanks for the update. Back to your home for a good night of rest, and then try again tomorrow. Que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.

So your camino begins anew on the morrow. Santiago will get you to Santiago.
Good ole LAX, just 20 minutes from me wish I could hop on flight with you tomorrow.
Buen camino

It's called technology! Have a quiet vino Tinto or a coffee and relax!

First Camino was meant to be an afternoon Heathrow to A Coruna. Overbooked. I was about 5th in line as I recall. Obviously heard it all before it was my turn so I checked on the internet and booked an early morning flight to SDC from Stansted (the other side of London). It was wonderful to see the confusion on the check-in desk girl's face when I was calm, relaxed, reasonable and just said "Send me a refund, OK?" It worked out great because when I got to Westminster in the centre I walked past the abbey just before an evening choral service. It was nice and followed by a private and very personal blessing in the inner sanctum of King Edward the Confessor's chapel. My first experience of "the Camino provides".
Go with the flow and Buen Camino. Get hooked like the rest of us! At least you have your first Camino tale!

Oh no Wanderlust, I am currently in Singapore waiting for my connection flight to Europe. Maybe we might meet in SJPDP before I head to Orisson.

Must have been something in the air....we had friends visiting from Paris who were also scheduled to fly out yesterday on the 30th from LAX to Paris. Hopefully they will leave tonight and have enjoyed their "extra" day to visit in Los Angeles. Buen Camino...I have tickets for July 23rd to fly to Madrid for my 2nd Camino...already packing!

I like to think I'm an optimist also, glass half full, never say it can't be done , but how can we do it! The Lord has a plan! After working in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for 32 years, what really matters is pretty clear to me. Thanks ALTO!!

If wanderlust57 was at ORD, I'd want to hop on and join her, too!
And hey, nycwalking, I really like your new avatar, but then I'm really into Camino shells.

This might have been said, I don't have the time to read the thread, but once your Camino is in action and done you will thank your lucky stars for that cancellation! Why? Because you will treasure the people you meet and many you would not have met if your plane took off!
