Peterson Airfield.

My last look at Colorado's Rocky Mountains before flying back home....WRONG ! I am back at my daughter's house. After waiting several hours, my plane to Houston was delayed due to high winds elsewhere, which meant I would miss my connection to Heathrow. I was told I could catch the next plane to Houston and I could go on standby for the next UK plane, but the next one was also late, so I wouldn't get on the second plane anyway. They then said I had the choice of going to Houston and waiting overnight and seeing if there was a seat on the morning plane, or staying at Colorado Springs overnight. I said I had a much better idea. I called my daughter who lives quite near the airport, she was thrilled to have me back for a few more days, and I rebooked via Los Angeles, although a longer journey. There were absolutely no seats back to UK until the end of the week. Meanwhile, I'm waiting for my suitcase to be delivered back here at Georgia's house as it and all my underwear is in Houston !! At least that made the grandchildren laugh.
