... and we're stuck in Brussels

Our flight was late leaving Rome this afternoon (after waiting at the airport for over 5 hours, no less!) so we missed our connection in Brussels. The next flight to Manchester isn't until tomorrow morning. Although the Brussels Air flight crew didn't seem the least bit concerned about possible missed connections, the service agent (who was just headed out the door, literally) booked us into a hotel with dinner and breakfast included as well as giving us our boarding passes and rebooking our luggage as well. It's much too late for dinner so we're headed to bed and hoping for a few hours sleep before we're on the go again. Who says old wrinklies aren't flexible? 😁✈🚢🚘
