well, i spoke too soon. shortly after i posted from SFO, my flight to EWR was delayed by two hours, which would have caused me to miss my connecting flight to Dubrovnik.
being the proactive person i am, the minute i heard “delay” i made a dash for the customer service center. the nice (and very new) agent helped me change my flight from going through EWR, to Munich instead.
of course, Murphy’s Law……he just finished setting everything up with the new ticket, when the gate agent came over and said, we’re only going to be 30 minutes late, not two hours. oh well, too late, i was on a new flight, and hey…no weather reported in Munich. if i had kept my original flight, who knows if the flight to Dubrovnik would have even happened.
so i made it to Dubrovnik safe and sound, a little later than originally anticipated, but in one piece.
