Mary, Hope you have a wonderful day!!! Enjoy your son home and celebrate together your Birthday.. Happy Birthday!!!
It's been a great birthday, with only one thing wrong; we returned home with no son in tow!
He got caught in Customs and missed the 7:25 am flight to St. Louis. We left the house at 7. Apparently bad weather moved into DC (where were you and your super powers, SuperBob?) and they kept delaying the flight.
In the meantime I shopped till I thought I would drop, went to the Zoo, and had a great dinner while we killed time.
Finally, at 6:30 pm, John called from the plane, said they had suddenly stopped them on the tarmac, and then announced that the flight crew had timed out their fly time and couldn't continue with the flight! Another crew couldn't be located, so they officially cancelled the flight at 7pm. Poor John. He's spent the past 28 hours travelling, and when I talked to him at 8, he was still in line with customer service. He said he needed food and a toothbruth--badly!
So, we just got home, 15 hours after we started, and will turn around and do it tomorrow. But we won't leave until we get word that the plane has left Dulles!
Thanks for all the well wishes!
And yes, to all the requests!
