Yup...for the week. His flight left at 6:53 am. He's on his way to Iowa for a wedding. Just getting him to the airport was an adventure in itself. Got up at 3:30am, he was up and ready by 4:45. I started the car around the same time to warm it up--it got a little too warm. Meaning it was thisclose to overheating. At 5am. A block away from the house. 20 minutes away from the airport. Icy roads and fog. Now snow. Uh-oh. What to do, what to do...I called my neighbor, Julie. (You know, the one I raved about a year ago for helping us move...) Don't you know she got up, warmed up her car and took us up there in whiteout conditions without hesitation? Yup...she did.
Anyhoo, he got checked in and through security in record time...about 20 minutes. And that was with going through security twice--he had to put something from his carry-on into his other bag. Then he found out he got a window seat. After that, the announcement came over that they had to de-ice the plane. Keep in mind, this is his first time flying...
He should be landing in Chicago around 9:15 my time to wait almost 4 hours for his connecting flight...I'll keep ya posted.
til next time...=)
