And all I was going for was Brad Shaw's housewarming party in Dallas.
Actually it wasnt that bad, especially compared to all the lost lives and tragedies in NY, but it gave me a whole new perspective of life.
This small town took in around 40 international flights, gave us food and shelter, I am forever grateful to these people.
The un-selfishness of these fantastic people still raise the hairs on my back. I actually had a very pleasant time there, despite the whole tragedy. I gave a considerable amount to the Salvation Army a couple years ago when they had a TV-campaign. Also to the Norwegian Sea-man's Church.
I actually slept besides a woman from Saudi Arabia on that church bench. She was real worried about going back then...
Also there were arabs on our flight back to London, we had to have an escort every time we went to the toilet.
They made a book about the whole thing:
"The day the world came to town"
