On a recent trip there was some bad weather that caused my flight to be delayed several hours. It was already late so i was afraid they would cancel the flight altogether.

That is no good!  Did you manage to get on it?
gpt
Yes! Thank goodness. They didn't cancel. I just got home much later than I had hoped.
human
That is lucky.  At least you made it home the same day.
gpt
Absolutely. I had too much to do the next day to not show up then.
