Travelling to Europe

We left home at 3:30 am on August 14th, and our trip from Regina to Madrid took a very long time. The Northwest Airlies flight from Detroit to Paris was cancelled because of a mechanical failure on the aircraft, and we were forced to spend an extra day at the Detroit airport. We finally arrived in Madrid on August 16th - one full day behind schedule!
