It was a normal day waking to the sound of roosters, chickens, turkeys, dogs, geckos (tikatiki). The hostel boys were starting their morning singing where their amazing voices filled the air accompanied by drums that played their own beat not resembling the song being sung.
For the last few weeks I would roll over, grab my phone and check our airline app. We were now only 5 days our from our return home but we knew that anything can happen with the current state of travel with Covid still around the world. On this morning I grabbed my phone to the heart dropping viewing that our flight to Doha was cancelled. Our flight from Doha to Auckland was still confirmed but that wasn't very helpful if we couldn't get to Doha. I grabbed my computer and logged into our managed booking to see who we could contact but strangely, the flight was not marked as cancelled on there. DC called the airline and was on hold for nearly an hour. I found their facebook page and sent a private message hoping that someone could confirm the status of our flight. Both of us received the same information
that the flight was still confirmed. The mobile app continued to say the flight was cancelled even after our departure.
