Well, the nitemare is over now..THANK YOU GOD!!! The reunion was wonderful, Thank GOD I had my friend with me, because we couldnt stop kissing all the way home, we were so happy to be in each others arms again...What Delay??? Talk about distant memories, the moment I saw him I forgot what I was so freaked out about..hahahahaha!!! (I think he did too, but he was ready to come home) The funny thing is, he looked like he had just stepped out of a magazine, no one sign of an overnite wait at any airport..hahaha!

I am very proud of him for holding up so well, he is a trooper..So patient and calm..He said he even ventured around the airport all those hours..I would have stayed right in my seat..hahahaha! I too was stuck in that airport when I went to Egypt, but only for 8 hours, that was nothing...(and I found my gate and stayed in my seat except to go to the bathroom...hahaha!) I guess we cant control the weather, and like I said patience is a virtue, and IT WAS WELL WORTH EVERY SECOND OF THE WAIT!!!!!

He is home sleepin like a baby now, unfortunately I had to come to work...

Everyone Have a great day....AND YES IF UR WAITING FOR UR LOVED ONE TO COME HOME ITS WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!! Just like everyone on here that has been reunited says!!!!!

God Bless All

Tanya and Hesham!!!! I can't believe the exact same thing happened to Gamal!!! He flew out on Wednesday on Delta, and missed his flight because of immigration, and the weather and the flight delay in Cairo! It was a nightmare for us too. It must be an Egyptian thing because he was calm cool and collected and I was FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!! But Thank God, I was able to get him from the airport last night!! It has been a whirlwind, but now all of our lives are finally starting!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!! God Bless both you and Hesham in your life together!!

Love,

Gamal and Erin

I arrived in JFK July 23rd at 3 pm. I was supposed to leave at 4:30 pm for Chicago. I didn't leave JFK until July 24th at 11:30 am. I had to take 3 flights to get to Chicago and I finally got home at 3 am this morning. I tried sleeping on the floor at JFK but kept waking up shivering to death. What a nightmare. I don't think I slept for almost 72 hours. I feel like a zombie. I just got one of my lost bags returned to my door and they still need to bring the other one.

I kept wondering if any of the MENA men I saw were waiting to reunite with wives/fiances. I'm glad you were finally reunited with yours! I hope everyone has made it out of JFK. I will try to avoid JFK from now on.

JFK drives me crazy and Laguardia does too, but for different reasons. I had 3 and a half hours between my flight into New York and leaving to Amman. Laguardia did something my whole flight's luggage and we had to wait 2 hours to get it. We sat watching all the other flights get theirs that came after us and still had to wait. I was getting so mad by the time it came. Then I had to rush to JFK and barely caught my flight.

They were cancelling flights because of bad weather. I was able to see outside JFK and there was no bad weather and CNN showed Chicago was clear too. I heard there was bad weather in the Northeast but it made no sense to cancel flights to the west except that when they cancel flights because of bad weather, they don't have provide any hotel stays. The real reason for cancelling flights I don't know because the weather seemed fine.

[Nagishkaw 510]

Maybe it was something else and they weren't telling?

I don't know, but the flight JFK cancelled on me that I posted earlier, they said the same thing. That it was weather and yet the weather in New York was fine.
