We just got back from an exhausting flight from Israel through Etihad Airlines.( I know. I never heard of it either until after Shabbos) It was suggested as an alternative flight replacing my United flight. Which was canceled each time after booking it for later date.
An astute reader from Chicago read Friday's blog post. She was in the same boat as my wife and I were and sent me a note about how she got back to her home in Chicago. It was via Etihad, - Abu Dhabi's national airline. She suggested that I try. I did and they booked my flight immediately.
After a brief flight to Abu Dhabi, spending over 7 and /2 ,at their airport, and then 14 grueling hours in the air, (That - and jet lag) I am exhausted. So there will be no new post today.
