There really is no place like home!
We were supposed to be gone for 22 days, it turned into 23...the lovely folks at Continental were trying to help and rerouted us with US Airways because Continental was running behind and thy knew we would miss our connecting flight...and we got stuck in the US Airways plane, on the runway, in the middle of a lightning storm, and then...missed our connecting flight...
The monkeys and I made it an adventure, pulled up our panties and started making the phone calls, reserving rooms and getting the shuttle sent over for us...the little we saw of Charlotte, NC was quite nice.
The next morning (this morning actually) we found out we had been placed in an Exit row...now normally I would be jumping up and down and high fiving strangers, but this seating arrangement does quite work out when your traelling companions are 5 and 11...had the hubby been with, he would have ditched our asses (not because he's mean, but because he's 6'4", air travel is not his friend) but we found some very happy people to trade with us.
The only real complaint I had with this airline was the food service...I know that you have to pay for what you want off the their menu and I am ok with that, but how can you run out of 2 menu items by the time you get to row 11?! We got lucky and one of the Continental Breakfasts was hiding and he found it by the time he got to us in row 13, but come on folks...it's a 7:45 am flight - people wants their $8 bagel and cream cheese.
So, now my poor tired girls only got to see their Daddy for about 2 hours, poor man is the only IT tech at his location...AND we only saw him for a day before we left because he had been in Hawaii for 5 days. So our little family has been apart for 28 of the last 29 days and only got a quick little visit on day 30 : (
Oh well, we are home...now for the unpacking...see you in about a week...just in time for the boxes to come from Grandma's house...
