~ Travel Day ~

by Tina~in_ut

Have you ever signed into blogger to double check that there is a blog set up for the next day, only to find out that there isn't?  That just happened to me!!!!!  I KNOW!!!!!!!!!~

So I think I'll tell you about "travel day!"

I was delayed in SLC because it decided to start snowing and no one was prepared for it.  The de-icing machines weren't ready to go......we thought it was only going to rain!  I spent over an hour waiting before they even started de-icing the plane!  I almost finished my book with all that extra time!  I was just worried because Lynn was supposed to meet me.

Lynn was worried because after running thru the airport in MSP trying not to miss her connection, SHE was delayed.  I guess the winds were so bad in ORD that they were delaying arrivals and departures.  My plane even had to circle once before landing.

Now Barb and J/L......it's so hard for me not to laugh!!!!!  They missed their flight.  It kept being delayed....a couple of minutes here....a couple there....and the next thing they knew, the plane was gone.  They never heard their names being called to board.  Luckily, they caught a connection thru Denver and still made it in before me!

And then there's Jodi!!!  On her drive to the big city, her radiator broke.  A couple of hundred dollars, a few hours of her time, oh...and some cheese curds and a public pee later, and she was back on the road.  She didn't arrive until around 8pm!

Di had it the easiest.  Her flight was fine.  She even met her next husband!  He's blind and thinks she's beautiful~ :D
