Well that was a long day! After spending the better part of the day on Thursday waiting at DIA for their flight to depart for Philadelphia, the Israeli Tripsters are finally on their way. However, instead of Philadelphia, they are now headed to Frankfurt, and will land in Tel Aviv about 12 hours behind schedule.
Apparently, the plane that was scheduled to take the group to Philadelphia "encountered" a goose while landing. Attempts were made to repair the plane, but eventually the flight was cancelled and the Tripsters left for Germany around 500pm MST. Mary has already re-arranged the beginning of the trip; all is well and no sights should be missed. She reported that the Tripsters are "fine and in good humor."
Check back soon for the first "real" post and updates.
