From mariedj at umbc.edu Mon Apr 16 07:33:06 2018 From: mariedj at umbc.edu (Marie desJardins) Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2018 11:33:06 +0000 Subject: [Csmatters-umbc] Travel update Message-ID: The rail and air strikes in France are wreaking havoc with my trip. My Delta flight (operated by Air France, who is in the midst of a series of "rolling strikes") to Paris was cancelled, and I was rebooked on a slightly later flight. I was supposed to fly back on Tuesday (tomorrow), but that had now become a strike date, so I changed my flight to Monday (today). Apparently that wasn't a good idea, because late last night, my Monday flight was cancelled. They rebooked me on a flight on Wednesday, which of course would have meant I'd miss the summit. This morning I was able to get through to Delta (after an hour on hold) and they were able to get me on a Delta flight tomorrow (Tuesday) that is NOT operated by Air France. It routes me through Detroit and is a long day but hopefully will get me home in time for the summit!! If not, somebody needs to step in for me (suggestion: Jan can greet everyone at the beginning of the day and introduce Bob Caret; Dianne can solo the MCCE session; and Jan and Dianne can jointly lead the wrap-up). Will keep you posted. Marie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
