Shopping in the mall

I always enjoy shopping at the malls here in Amman. We have been to three so far.
First, there was a small mall called The Avenue. By small I do mean 5 floors.
Next, there was The Galleria. This is 7 floors and fun to navigate.
Last, there was The City Mall. Huge compared to the other two malls.
All of these malls are very well kept and offer a ton of shopping varieties. They even have Starbucks in or around 2 of the larger malls.
In all thee malls there is the Carrefour. This is the Wal-Mart, Kroger, King Sooper, or Glens of Amman.
But I do have to say that the best falafel and hummus  comes from this little stand near the Galleria mall. Great prices and yummy yummy food.

Half way there...

It has been a little rough this half of the journey. But I am trying to "roll with the punches", "go with the flow". It's not like I can do anything to change what is happening so this is my only choice.
Here's the scoop:
Starting the night before the flight my carrier started sending me texts and emails about my flights changing and cancelations and rebookings. "M" told me that they would take care of everything at the airport and I would get there no matter so I stopped worrying.
Then I got to the airport and after checking in, was told that I needed to check in with the gate agent. The gate agent printed me my itinerary and I thought nothing of it.
Upon arriving in Atlanta I found out that there was no 10:05pm flight to Paris. There never was a flight. The flight number I was given was for a 12:40am flight which meant I would then miss my connection to my final destination.  Ugh.
So I stood in line for 45 minutes waiting to figure things out then was rebooked on a different carrier, different route. Now onto London I go. Then I will have a layover and head to my final destination of Jordan. Only issue is that I won't be coming in until almost midnight . That is 3 hours later then originally scheduled to arrive. Boooooo.
On the upside: I got the seats to myself so I got to relax, although no sleep was had. *sad face*
