J: Oh! no. Did the captain just announce he's rerouting the plane around a storm?
A: Yeah, and our connecting flight is only 30 minutes after we're scheduled to land.
J: If we do make it, it'll be by the skin of our teeth. Let's figure out where we have to go when we land.
A: I'm glad we traveled light because we might have to run./ J: Best-case scenario, our next flight is delayed by the weather.
A: I'm getting nervous! My sister will never forgive me if we miss her wedding.
J: Come on, Amanda, you need to pick up the pace if we're going to catch our connecting flight.
A: It's no use trying to catch it! The departure gate is on the other side of the airport and we only have five minutes.
J: You're probably right. We still have to catch a train to Terminal C./A: Then we should find a help desk to see what our options are.
J: We're trying to get to a very small airport. This was the only flight today./ A: We're up a creek without a paddle!
J: The next flight to Port Morrison is in two days!/ A: We might as well call Megan and tell her we won't be at her wedding.
J: There's no way we're throwing in the towel. Let's see what our options are with buses or trains.
A: Okey. I'll look up bus routes, you look for trains.
J: The closest train station to Port Morrison will only get us halfway there. It departs in two hours.
A: Well, the shortest bus route is 10 hours long and it leaves in the morning. Let's catch that train.
J: Okey, now that we're in Danbury, we still have another 200 kilometers to go. What now?
A: Since there are no rental cars and the next bus leaves in eight hours, we have to think outside the box.
J: Why don't we go into that little diner over there and talk to some locals and tell them we're in a bind?
A: It's worth a try. The worst they can say is wait for the bus./ J: But then we'll miss the wedding.
A: We'll never know unless we ask. Anyway, I'm really hungry.
J: I can't belive we made it in time for Megan's wedding!
A: Well, those people in Danbury were great. We got lucky that the butcher had a delivery to Port Morrison!
J: We were amazing at thinking on your feet when we missed the last ferry.
A: If the only way to the island was by boat, why not ask a fisherman for a ride?
J: This will make for a great story tonight at the reception./ A: I hope we can take a shower first. We smell like fish and raw meat!
