Turning Back

At 11:00 pm, one hour into our flight over the ocean from jfk to London, our plane turned back because the smell of jet fuel was strong inside the cabin. 

Back on the ground, ents boarded the plane to attend to one of the flight crew, and then we deplaned for the next few hours to wait for another plane. 


Dan had already called and rebooked us on a flight to Paris, never dreaming they’d have another plane at jfk available, but they did and by the time we exited, we wouldn’t make the Paris flight so we switched back. 

Meanwhile we had to find new flights to Croatia since we’d miss our connection. 
When we landed at Heathrow, we hired a car to transfer us to Gatwick where we took a party jet to Split, Croatia and hired another car to drive us the 90 minutes to Zadar and by 11:30 pm Michelle and Brent in the AirBnB. 

Whew! It’s been a long couple of days and I haven’t felt great. But with Dans heroic efforts finding and booking flights and cars, we made it! 


Thera a gorgeous view of the harbor and old city out our window in Zadar, but I was too tired to think and didn’t hold my camera still.
