The trip starts with a delay

So, we all arrived on time at Denver International Airport this morning for our 10 a.m. flight.  Unfortunately, United Airlines had to cancel the flight.  After about an hour and a half, we were rebooked onto a Lufthansa flight for 5:50 p.m.  That means that some of the things we were going to do in Moscow will not get done. 

So, we had lunch here at DIA and now some are playing cards, some are walking around the airport and I'm chatting with friends on VK.com.  Now, they are all going to bed. 

We managed to get almost everything in our suitcases, but had to leave some things behind.  We are excited about our trip, even though this delay is frustrating and it was not clear at first whether our new flight was confirmed.  We had about ten minutes at the Lufthansa counter trying to find out if we really had seats.  We had a big sigh of relief when they changed from saying that the flight was full to printing our boarding passes.  Still we sit.
