Planes, Trains, and Automobiles: Jordan

We woke up the next morning and hopped on the train from Rome Termini to the Rome airport which apparently has two different names. Our plane left at 1:30pm and we got in to London Heathrow at 3:30. Our plane didn't leave until the next day (since there are only 2 flights to Houston per day) so we planned to stay in Terminal 1 like the lady at the service counter had suggested.

We stayed over in Terminal 1 which was not the best nights sleep, but at least I slept. Our plane was supposed to leave at 1:30pm. We sat on the plane until around 3:30pm when they finally decided to take us off of the plane because power was out somewhere in the cabin. We go off the plane and were given a new departure time of 7:30pm. After our 6 hour delay and our 8.5 hour flight we finally arrived in Houston around midnight. After a quick spin through customs we finally grabbed our bags. Tom met as at the airport (which was a huge lifesaver) and took us back to his house to get some sleep before we had to get back to San Antonio. Thanks Tom!

The next morning we hopped in the car and drove back to San Antonio adding another 2.5 hours to our lengthy travel time.
