Made It

Jan 8, 2011
We had a mild adventure on our trip beginning.

Got to the airport on time. Too bad the plane didn't get there on time.
They said Our plane, would be late.
We were waiting for our plane when I noticed fire trucks, police cars and ambulances
lining a runway near us.

So, I went to the counter clerk and mentioned it to her. Oh no, there is no problem. Police cars are always driving past. No mam, maybe you should look outside.
Sure, when i have time.

As i told Karolyn what was happening, others heard me and suddenly we were all
watching the action.

Soon a PIA?? airplane drove by with all the emergency vehicles following it.
the plane had a star over a crescent moon on the tail.

Oh well, our plane was only 45 minutes late taking off. But somehow got to Atlanta with 40 minutes for us to run from our gate B2 to E2. These two gates are both at the end of their terminals.

We made it in time, plenty of time. Enough time to buy 2 Grilled Chicken Classic sandwichs. They rushed us on the plane and said as soon as all were on board we would take off.

30 minutes later they apologized for the delay as a couple instrument light bulbs were out. So out came the sandwiches and we gulped them down.

We arrived after 10 pm and it was too late to call for friends to pick us up so we took a cab... owned by Haitian Chery....he took us to our door and charged $30.....with a $5 tip...$35.

Now we're home and its spotless. And the toilets work. One for her and one for me.
The sad part of the trip, its cold here....66 degrees.....brrrr....
After getting up this morning to 11 degrees....I guess I can handle the cold here.

Sorry, I didn't make it to Panera this morning. But you probably suspected what I was doing.
Well, talk to you later..... have a happy sunday.

P.S.: sat next to the girls rowing team from Notre Dame who couldn't practice in South Bend but will somewhere around Sarasota.
