I recently (possibly same week as you) was tangled in a nightmare of flight delays, trying to get to Rio de Janeiro as well. My airline sponsored overnight was not as exciting and cool as yours. I have written about my 52 hour marathon from San Francisco to Rio in my latest post / newsletter https://gpinto.substack.com/p/back-to-rio

At least yours had a clear reason, a storm. Ours had none. They said "mechanical issues", yet it happened again on our return :/
Glad you made it to your destination safely
