Unexpected reunion

Our trip back to Shanghai: Our flight leaving Chicago for San Francisco was delayed for 30 minutes due to last minute pilot being called back from his way to the hotel, and some kitchen sensor problem.  During the flight, one passenger had a medical issue so we had an emergency landing in Salt Lake City. After the passenger deplaned, we were waiting while the plane was refilled. Then the pilot's flight time was up, and no other pilots available, so we had to stay overnight in Salt Lake City.  United Airlines put us in the grand suite room in the grandest hotel in Salt Lake City (Grand America).  Alas, when we checked in to the hotel room, it was almost 1 am, and we would miss our flight departing that night from San Francisco to Taipei-Shanghai, and Jolene would miss her orientation on Friday.

Good thing is we got to stay with Ella and her family for one day.  It happened to be Uncle Yang's birthday celebration that night.  Given all the anxiety due to all the flight incidents, missing the orientation, paying $300 for Eva airways upgrade, there was still something good!
