Unfortunately, the aircraft experienced some technical difficulties (yelp), and our United flight left Vancouver about an hour and a half later than expected. We had the sinking feeling that due to our short layover in Chicago we would miss our connecting flight. Both of us feared the worst and that our adventure would be off to a rocky start. However, with luck and long legs we managed to make our connection – we ran through O’Hare Airport. Thank you United Airlines for reminding us how out of shape and OLD we are… I think I tasted blood.
