The return journey from Denver was not a lot of fun. I love travel, but I hate

Having a flight delayed over 8 hours is a bummer, especially when it causes you to miss your connecting flight, which was the last one of the day. I won't go into the grisly details, but I will say that Delta surprised me with how professionally the situation was handled. It could have been much worse. And, I fly again in a couple of weeks!
