Safely

arrived in Germany on the scheduled day, which is a minor miracle because....
my flight from Memphis to Chicago was cancelled 10 minutes after I checked in due to bad wheather....
I was rerouted to Dallas....
the plane from Dallas was delayed due to thunderstorms and tornadoes somewhere close....
the plane to Dallas finally took off almost 2 hours late...
once in the air, we were told that we had to fly to New Orleans and Houston first and then back to Dallas in order to avoid the bad wheather...
we were scheduled to arrive in Dallas around 2:30 pm ...
my connecting flight to Frankfurt was leaving at 2:45...
and therefore I was never going to make it....
But...
we arrived in Dallas about 2:20pm in terminal D, gate 28...
my flight to Germany was taking off from terminal D, gate 36....
so all I had to do was run like crazy to make it on the plane....
and
I did !
Once on the plane I had another pleasant surprise...somehow I ended up with an exit row seat, which means a lot more leg room....
and
when I got to Frankfurt, my luggage was even there.
Praise God.
