What day is it?

You know how when you are on summer break or vacation, you lose sense of time, forget the date and the day of the week? I reached that point.

A month ago, Sam and I coordinated our London flight over Google chat. We agreed to fly out on July 27th and verified the flight number. We have been ridiculously excited about going to London.

For the past couple of hours, we have been getting ready to leave for London tomorrow morning. We packed, called for a cab, and finalized housing arrangements. (Thank you for the help, mommy!) When I was booking our train tickets from the airport to the center of London, I glanced at the date on my laptop, July 25th. Uh oh. I know my boarding pass says July 27th. When Sam said we were leaving tomorrow, I didn't think twice. Until now. I double checked my boarding pass and our archived Google chat. July 27th.

Did you know that the flight number and flight times can be the same on two different days? Sam accidentally booked her flight for the 26th. I'm just glad we realized it before we got to the airport at 6am. I feel really dumb but I'm glad it was easy for her to change her flight. I would have changed mine but then we would have had to find housing for another night. Also, Sam is sick so I'm glad she gets an extra day to rest up. It's been a ridiculous night but everything worked out.

I tried to post pictures but my computer is acting a little crazy. I will try again tomorrow.

Three things I'm grateful for:
1. An extra day in Berlin
2. Finding Kirsch Porter in the store so I could bring it to Sam
3. The wonderful family I'm staying with
