Next stop London...eventually

Christine and I went to the airport tonight for our week long trip to London. After we moseyed around the airport for a while we went to go sit at our gate. Having noticed that the departure time hadn't been updated for our delayed flight, we stepped up to the counter to make sure it was still delayed. They said it still was, and that they were also looking for volunteers to be bumped because they were oversold. To make a long story short, we used our keen negotiating skills score $400 in cash (each!) and an upgrade to Club World Plus (which is essentially business class on British Air). Sure, we get start our London vacation a day later, but spending a Saturday in Colorado isn't exactly terrible. We're both going to enjoy the morning by going for long bike rides. Then we'll cruise back to the airport tomorrow evening and fly in style to London. On our way back home we grabbed a few bottles of wine, some cheese, and some crackers for an impromptu wine and cheese party to thank the people who are watching our dog and who took us to the airport earlier today.
