Last night I called the airline just to confirm everything after last week's fiasco and, lo and behold, my reservation had been cancelled. What! Turns out the local Lufthansa office hadn't done everything they were supposed to do when the ticket was rebooked so the reservation was no more.

Luckily there was still availability tonight so they rebooked me again and I'll be heading for the airport in about an hour. I'll have a 4-hour layover in Frankfurt, then a 10-hr flight to Atlanta. After another 4-hr layover there I'll catch my last 2-ish hour flight to Dallas. I imagine I'll be one tired cookie but it'll be nice to get "home" to Bertha and regular life.
