First off: Merry Christmas!!!
Jeff: Sorry I didn't post any photos for you guys. You know how go, go everything is.
I'm trying to get my Flikr account going, but my internet has been hateful the last few days!
For those of you interested - we were successful in getting the painting home! In the end Virgin Atlantic just let me take it on the plane, although the TSA were very confused with what to do with it as it didn't fit through their X-ray machine!
Jon
So glad you got it home okay. I was wondering how you were going to do it. I was so happy to see that painting go home with you guys! If I couldn't have it then I'm glad it's got a good home with you all!
THE
ABD PHOTOS ARE UP, THE ABD PHOTOS ARE UP!
From what I can tell it's not ALL of the photos yet, but it's something for now!
I'm actually a little glad we didn't have a "major" purchase to get home this trip tough as we continued to have our bad luck trying to get back home. In all honestly it could have been worse, always could have been worse, but I don't understand the unlucky star our return trips always seem to happen under. At least it's not the outgoing trip I suppose.
So our driver picked us up on time: Awesome
Got through security and grabbed a bite to eat: Awesome
Boarded, turfed a guy out of my seat who had made a mistake: No Big
Noticed there was no inflight entertainment, most importantly the map I like to follow our plane on: *Sigh*
The LAX baggage area lost power so we had to wait for bags for an hour and a half or so: Hmmmmm
We miss our connecting flight to Savannah, the last flight to Savannah: Not awesome
Delta puts us up at the Sheridan, gives us $50 in airport money and directs us towards the shuttle: Thanks, could have been worse, but still not loving this
Head to the shuttle, with 200 of our new friends: Hectic
One shuttle, so pushing and shoving: Hate our new friends
Get to hotel, check in, buy Coke, go to room: Whatever
Wake up with no hairbrush, etc: Jeri looks like baby bird. Will not discuss my look. Being grateful hotel handed out toothbrushes!
Head back to airport to eat and spend my $50 in airport money before our 1:45 flight: Yes, 1:45. Sometimes living in the middle of nowhere is not helpful
Restaurant doesn't take Delta airport money: Starting to hate everyone
Get on plane, get home, meet Mom for the pick up: Mom has never looked more beautiful!
Bags are lost: Really, really hate everyone! Except Mom who came to retrieve me and fed the cats while we were gone so is beautiful.
Go home: Thank The LORD! I love you bed!!!! Can't sleep!!!! 2:30 a.m., still can't sleep! I just want to sleep for the love of Pete!
Day 2 @ 6:45 a.m.: Bags arrive home safe and sound!
But at 6:45?
I JUST WANT TO SLEEP! But on great side, bags did arrive and everything was untouched in there! So glad!
And lastly, anybody else still out of sync with the real time? I didn't have this much trouble coming back from Italy! So glad I didn't have anywhere to be on time this week.
