Hi, all.
Jim, I'm sorry the trip was long and convoluted but glad
that you and all the others made it home safely. My trip home was
certainly uneventful compared with the inbound one, what with an unconscious
passenger collapsed at my feet, cancelled connecting flight and a rare (for me)
drive in the snow. Happily, my only decision on arriving home was which
tee-shirt to wear with my shorts.
It was wonderful to see you all, and I look forward to the
next time.

Seattle
Hi Gang,
I'm glad most of you had a good trip
home. I left the Mariott around 6AM
in hopes of getting a earlier
flight (my original flight was at 4:15 PM.
Yep, one was available at 8:45
so I booked via Detroit then on to Seattle.
The passengers were
loaded only to hear about a mechanical problem. We
left around two
hours later and, when arriving in Detroit, found that our
connection flight
were gone. So, another re-booking...this time via
Minneapolis then on
to Seattle after a two hour delay.
Thus, my trip started at 6 AM Sunday EST
and I arrived home at midnight
(EST), just a normal 18 hour journey.
Oh, my luggage did not follow me
but they did get it delivered at 2AM
PST. It was not a good day at work
today...I'm a bit
tired.
Glad to see everyone. I look forward to seeing many of you
in Dayton and
at the July meeting.
