March 15, 2012. Double D Ranch, Texas. Luck.

You just can't beat good luck.  Yesterday, we just got lucky.   Our flight out of Halifax was delayed due to high winds and freezing rain.    The plane arrived one hour late into Halifax and after boarding we sat on the plane waiting for clearance before lining up to de-ice the plane.   Our schedule had left us a two hour layover in Newark, but with the late start of two hours,  we felt sure we would miss our flight to San Antonio.

But we got lucky.  Our arrival gate was right across from our departure gate so we were able to walk right across the hall and walk onto the next plane, which had already announced the door was closing.  We sat down, the door closed and we took off for Texas.  Almost everyone on our flight from Halifax was connecting onto another destination.  One group heading to Washington, DC. had 21 people on the plane, but they missed their flight.  But,  with no thanks to us, we were the lucky ones and we arrived in San Antonio twenty minutes early.  I have always considered myself a lucky person and yesterday just proved my case.
