Safe at Home in Tallahassee

It is 9 PM - we just got home.

We left Tamaqua at 9 AM this morning - it was pouring.

We got to the Philadelphia Airport around noon. We checked our luggage - then went to our gate. Our plane was there but they kept delaying the flight - something about flying a part in for it. Then they announced that we might have to stay the night in Philly. 300 people rushed the desk - but not Nancy. She quickly got on the cell phone to Delta - and told them of the problem - and demanded they book us on another flight. They said all flights were full. Then she said she was a medallion customer and insisted they book her on another airline. She checked and Airtran was flying to Atlanta - so they booked us on the Airtran flight free of charge. Then Nancy asked for meal coupons because we were delayed and got them.

So we flew to Atlanta on Airtran and then caught a Delta flight in to Tallahassee - arriving here at 8 PM. Of course our bags are on the other plane - and who knows when we will get them. We do carry our computers onto the plane so we have them.

Keith picked us up at the airport - and we got home in the dark. The house is nice and we checked out the workshop with a flashlight.

We had a great two weeks on the cruise and back in Pennsylvania and New York. It was nice to see George, MaryRuth, and Michael Taylor - Tim and Diann Fudge - Lee Schilling - Marylou and Carl Zimmerman - Jean Freed - Charlie Depuy - Bob and Nancy Henninger - Betty Cox - Lori Ansbach - David Cox - Tyler and Dana Ansbach - Delores and George Boyle - and of course Drew and Robin Everhart in Syracuse.

We enjoyed our brief visits to Mexico - Grand Cayman - Aruba - and Puerto Rico. It was nice seeing Philadelphia even just for a little bit.

Next trip - New Orleans in June. But right now - it is nice to be home.
