Left for our long treck back to the US early Monday morning. Everything went really well, no one got lost, all the luggage was in the right place etc....until we got to Salt Lake City. We had boarded our airplane, when we were told one of the two engines wouldn't start up. Mechanics were called, they tried to fix it, didn't happen, we had to get off the plane...by then already an hour delayed. They tried to get another plane ready for us, but then they didn't have a crew. So hours later we were told that we had to stay over night in Salt Lake and fly out in the morning. We were so tired and dissappointed. Got separated boarding a shuttle to the hotel they booked for us. Lots more confusion especially since we had to board the shuttle in 3 different groups till we all finally were at the airport the next morning... It was so good to be back in Spokane and see our families. Eveyone disappeared very quickly...hope you all had a marvellous time despite that little glitch in the end. See you all in the fall! Take care, Frau Hanks and Frau Wipp:)
