Context: I recently had a flight delayed by several hours and I was really afraid it was going to be cancelled altogether.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 2: That is no good!  Did you manage to get on it?
Speaker 1: Yes! Thank goodness. They didn't cancel. I just got home much later than I had hoped.
Speaker 2: That is lucky.  At least you made it home the same day.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I had too much to do the next day to not show up then.
