STRANDED

Kathleen and I got out of Seattle to Newark, New Jersey (just next to New York), but our flight to Belfast is cancelled. We have been booked on a flight tomorrow, but no guarantee it will leave. I wrote to friends across the US and was overwhelmed with offers of support. This was my latest email to them:
Thanks to everyone for your help. We had so many offers it became somewhat embarrassing!
 
We are being picked by a pastor (friend of a friend) who is 45 minutes from Newark Airport. He will also leave us back to the airport. We will stay with him for a day or two, but hopefully get out tomorrow.
 
Thank you all for your amazing offers and support.
 
Jack
 
PS. Not sure exactly when we'll get back. We can only take it a day at a time. If our flight does not go tomorrow we need to keep rebooking. It could be as long as 10 days, and even then we are not sure!
 
I am in touch with Andrew Willis and will confirm soon if he is making it for the weekend. See you all soon.
 
I got to watch Liverpool beat West Ham here in the Presidents Lounge at the airport!
