That about describes the start to our RTW trip.
So, after a night of celebrating Jackie's 21st birthday and no sleep we arrived at the Charleston airport at 4:30am for our 6:10am flight to Atlanta. Upon check-in our tickets showed 6:00pm...Das ist nicht gut! Our flight had been canceled and without any notice we frantically tried to find someway to get from Charleston to JFK Airport so we could leave on a 5:45pm flight to Dusseldorf.
This is where the fun began...we found a 12:09pm flight from Atlanta landing in Newark at 2:24pm, which should give us plenty of time to transfer to JFK. We took the 5hr Benoit Express (aka Jenny's parents) at top speed to ATL airport allowing us to make our flight to Newark.
Once in Jersey we found the airport shuttle and got tickets for the 3:15 bus, but as the song from Jeopardy played in our heads and 3:40 rolled around with no bus we started freaking out. We grabbed a Jersey cabby that made the drive between the airports within record time; we even had enough time for a pre-boarding beverage to celebrate the start of our trip.

Hey everyone,
Thanks for all the comments!
Ya some how alcohol and airports go together, we slept pretty good on that flight!
