Munich to (almost) home

Our trip is almost over- and when I say that, I am writing from the Red Carpet Club at Ohare.
We successfully navigated from Johannesburg to Munich, spent a wonderful night and morning in the Marriott Hotel near the airport (and in a nice village). (It also is being renovated). This morning we walked around town until it was time to go to the airport and then we caught a shuttle to the nearby airport. Our flight over the ocean was very nice- a new airbus that was not only comfortable but also very nice. Then we faced the "teeming masses" (not sure how to spell teeming) of Ohare - first as we went through immigration, then baggage (Yeah- our luggage got here), then security again. We went directly to our gate- and lo and behold, no airplane. Those of you who know United Express know that even a beautiful day in July can experience delays.
So- we have located the Red Carpet Club- which is still available to us for another day. Now our flight is delayed again.
It is the middle of the night by the clock that we woke up to. We need to get home.
Soon.......
