Airlines nightmares, but all ends well!
Flying used to be so much fun, but less so these days: Qantas Airlines--where's Hobart--really?

The DF airport has a fabulous extension of the Anthropological Museum, just in case you get stranded there again. I imagine you and your little beloveds were thrilled to see each other, but almost a thousand emails--yikes! I'm not sure where you might visit next in South America, but I've met Frenchies heading to the French South Pacific who've flown to Chile with a stop (might as well stay) on Easter Island. Might be more direct you those of us in the Southern Hemisphere. Hope you're soon enjoying a fine, warm spring, and I love that you loved my Latino backyard!
