The flight to Atlanta from Dublin went without a hitch and we arrived on the 8th about 17 minutes ahead of schedule. The scheduled two-hour stopover turned out to be longer as the Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City closed early in the afternoon due to a severe weather storm forecast.

With the flight cancelled Delta Airlines booked us on a flight to travel on Wednesday from Atlanta through Memphis and onto to Oklahoma City.

When we arrived at the airport we attempted to check in to be told that the flight to Memphis was cancelled and that we had now been booked on an itinerary through Denver onto Salt Lake City with the final destination as Oklahoma City.
We sought a change and we then changed to travel on a direct flight to Oklahoma City a journey time of some 2 hours and twenty minutes.
We arrived at the Sooners Suites on the Oklahoma University campus in Norman late afternoon to be met by team member Molly Lyons with a warm Oklahoma welcome.

After check-in we went out to dinner in Norman where we met up with all the international team members and Leigh & Ken Robson (Construction Science Head).
