We got The Man ready for his flight to Yemen today. Since I don't drive on highways, our plan was for The Man to drive to the airport, Kiki would drive back. At 3:00, we set out. But we were all back home by 5:00! Turns out The Man doesn't fly out till tomorrow.
On the Monday, Yemen emailed The Man to say we've couriered you plane tickets, you leave Wednesday. The Man objected and asked to leave Friday. They emailed back saying okay, we've change your flight. On Tuesday, their travel agent sent a confirmation email with the rescheduled flight info. On Wednesday, the plane tickets issued Monday arrived. They carry the wrong travel date, but we knew that. The Man got a travel agent in Toronto to confirm he could use the tickets he received.
When we got to the airport today, British Airway said, Yes, you're flying with us, but not till tomorrow! The Man pulled out the email from the travel agent, and there it was: Departure October 8, 6:45!!
Man is embarrassed now because he didn't check the details from the travel agent. He just believed Yemen when they said yes to his request for Friday. Definite problem in Yemen with specifics and follow through. Definite problem with The Man and details. But no big loss. We had an excellent send off Thursday night when the good weather held (the cold came in when the party ended), today we had a nice dinner, tomorrow we get to spend another day together, and it was a good practice run. The Man will take a cab tomorrow.
