We left Tampa today on an early flight through Atlanta to Boston. We were anticipating a long layover in Boston but we really didn't anticipate it being quite as long as it's ended up being.
When we were changing planes in Atlanta I checked my e-mail and learned that our flight from Boston to Terceira (Azores) would not be leaving tonight. It has been rescheduled for tomorrow morning. We're not sure why at this point but as it turns out it really wasn't a bad deal.
The airline has offered a generous reimbursement of our expenses for getting a hotel here in Boston (not cheap), food and transportation from the airport to the city and back to the airport. So instead of a long day and an overnight flight we ended up with a nice day in Boston, a comfortable bed for the night, and a few meals, compliments of Azores Airways.
Not the start we were anticipating, but not bad and hopefully we'll be sitting on Terceira by this time tomorrow night. Travel certainly takes you places. Sometimes just not on the itinerary that you had in mind!
