The Severns' Summer Adventure Part VIII




We called Saturday am to find out the exact time of our flight back to the states, it was scheduled for Sunday. This is when they told us the flight was canceled! ...great, we thought this is not the flight for us to miss out on. As is turns out there was a previous flight that had been delayed a day to Whidbey Island, Washington. Well this is not what we had in mind because it is harder to catch a hop home from there but of course Eva and Carrie live there! So we really prayed that we would get that flight otherwise we were looking at really steep commercial prices.
We showed up to the terminal this am for the roll call (nothing is guaranteed, it's all by available space) sweating a little. Finally they called our name and told us to expect to be in WA late this evening. Yeah!
Then we got on the flight and they ask us what our accommodations for the night in St Johns are. ...Okay, what ?? So actually the flight was staying over in NEWFOUNDLAND. Does anyone actually live there?
At this point I have to really testify to the faithfulness and favor of God because He is so Great! We ended up following the crew onto a shuttle to their hotel. This place is gorgeous! WOW! we want to come back here some day. The hotel is nice and the dinner at the pub downstairs was so tasty. The pic is out the window of our hotel.
So we will be in Washington tomorrow evening and we'll see what will happen from there! What an adventure! As much as I am tired and want to go home, this is fun! We have been to five countries other than the US and four states other than CA!

Rachel, I so happy for you family's adventure! What beautiful places you have been. Also, I'm really curious about how space-a works.
