2011 Day Six - Billings, MT to Detroit, MI

Well as you might expect, not all trips go as planned.  Our 10:45 AM departure was good, we were there around 9:15 AM and ready to go.  Unfortunately, Denver had a bad hail storm on the 13th damaging several planes, including our 2:00 PM plane to Detroit.  Luckily, we were there early and they were able to re-book us on a United flight, just five and half hours later around 7:30 PM.  What we didn't have at that point was SEATS. 

We decided to explore the shops in all three terminals to pass the time.  Suffice it to say we got to know the Denver Airport very well!

We finally got seats around 6:00 PM (good seats as it turned out).  Then after a few more thunderstorms and a delayed inbound flight we left around 8:15 PM MDT and arrived in Detroit at 1:00 AM.

We had a great trip, one we'll remember for a long time.
