Every trip, especially one with connections, is a "crap shoot". Here are a few of mine:Going to Phoenix from Philadelphia with a stopover in New Orleans. As usual, the Crescent arrived 2 hours late (9pm) in NO. Taxi to hotel, great time sight-seeing next day, overnight at hotel. Message from Amtrak at 7am: " 9am Sunset Limited running late. No need to get to the station before noon". Train arrives at noon and departs at 1:30pm. Gets to our stop the next day at 1am instead of 8pm. No transportation, including Uber, to get to Phoenix. Bribe a driver in a van with $40. to get us to the hotel.Flying from Philadelphia to Brazil. Plane backs out of gate, then stops for 15 minutes. "We are having red lights flashing, so we are switching to a different 'plane". We leave 2 hours later. Since our flight to Brazil has a connecting flight in Miami of 2 1/2 hours, we might make it. Get to Miami with 30 minutes to spare, but the plane cannot latch on to the gate. 40 minutes later, we can start getting off. We get lucky because the Brazil flight leaves 2 hours late.
