I found out some odd news about my mom and her trip to Austria. She and my Nana(who's also going) were supposed to take a flight from Newark, NJ to Quebec then another flight from Quebec to Munich, Germany. This was all supposed to happen Thurday into Friday. But it turns out that the flight from Newark to Quebec was very delayed and when they got to Quebec they had missed the flight to Munich. So the Air Canada people got them a flight on a plane at 10pm on Friday, but from the Toronto airport. So my mom and Nana took another flight from Quebec to Toronto and the airline put them up in a hotel until their flight. (And my dad was weirded out by this because recently a pilot messed up at the Toronto airport and the plane went off the runway and blew up and killed people.) And the new flight goes to a different German airport so once they're in Germany they have to take another flight to Munich. Thet's 4 plane rides. At least they don't have to play for all that extra stuff. And it all started because New Jersey's airplanes were late.
