It didn’t take long for a planning fail to become a planning win. As an American who’s lived in the UK for almost 13 years, booking trips to visit family should have been second nature, but I’d screwed up my return flight booking between Austin and Glasgow, and had no choice but to rebook entirely, returning a day earlier. In the fog of frustration, a friend texted. Through her work, she had been allocated two tickets to the “Parsifal” dress rehearsal at Glyndebourne the day after my new return. After flying from Texas to Scotland, there was only an almost thousand-mile round trip standing in the way. Would I like the second ticket?
