In Atlanta - customs was slow - and we missed our plane to Tallahassee. When we got to the gate - the ramp was pulled back - etc. Nancy was trying to get the gate people to open the door again - they said no dice. Just as they were booking us on the next plane - the pilot came by - they were waiting for him. The plane crew then said there were tow empty seats because they bumped someone off for them. Although there were 5 people at the gate - they gave them to Lulu and I. So they took people off the plane - and then later gave us their seats. Someone was bumped for us!
The plane landed in Tallahassee at 4 PM - and our bags were still back in Atlanta. We waited around a bit and they promised they would deliver them to the house by 10 PM.
We got a ride home from the airport from JP and Wanda. Wanda is Lulu's buddy - another professor that teaches in London.
In the Atlanta Airport - we got to see George and Joel Dawson just for a minute. They were heading to Africa. They will be back in 10 days. They are leading an expedition to Tanzania.
The house looks great. George and Katy did a good job watching over it. The grass needs a trim - and the pool is a bit green - but they will be back in no time.
Oh Yes - I almost forgot - Jean and Marylou got bumped on their flight home yesterday from London. They were given a flight home on a Virgin Airline Boeing 747 four hours later. They were given a $500 flight voucher plus a $10 meal voucher plus all the wine they could drink on the 9 hour trip home.
