Headed Home (sort of)

I left Tel Aviv without a hitch, but as happens occasionally, intended plans got modified. My connecting flight from Newark to Des Moines was cancelled because of the weather in Iowa. So I stayed at the airport overnight (or day-my body is still on Israeli time, which is eight hours ahead of Iowa) "resting" on a chair. I hung out in the international welcome center which had a little coffee shop. About 2:30 in the morning I was able to pass through security to get to my gate. The plane does't leave until 9:00am, so I still have a little wait here. So it goes.
