A LONGER trip home than expected!!!!!!

Awoke this morning and had my coffee, and the 1st Lady her tea.......outside!!! It was really quite cool for Arizona.....the coolest it has been all winter.....but across the street from our friends' park model....a new park model was being moved onto the lot and set up in a most interesting way. Sooooo, we and the neighbors all watched the process as a new home was set up and established right in front of our eyes. It was like an early morning party on the street!!!!!

By 10AM, we loaded up and headed to the Phoenix airport to catch our flight to Memphis and then to STL. All went well.......we loaded up and took off right on time. We made excellent time.....and arrived in just a little over two hours, well ahead of schedule........even with the last 30 minutes of turbulence and everyone "locked down" in their seats and tightened seat belts!!!

Once on the ground in Memphis, we moved to the loading gate for StL.......and guess what!!!! Our plane to STL had a malfunction......so, we were told we would leave at 8:30pm instead of 6:34pm. The time slowly went by......I had a Starbucks cappuccino (oh yeah....GREAT!!!), and then it was announced our plane would not be flying tonight!!!! BUT.....always a "BUT"......there was/is a plane arriving from Minneapolis at 9:30pm and it would then fly us to STL at 10:02pm.

Sooooo, here we sit in the closed down, almost empty, Memphis airport awaiting the arrival of the flt from Minneapolis!!!! It is now 9:10pm and we are awaiting the plane......We did receive vouchers for $$ off on our next flight....and....1000 miles towards our Frequent Flyer miles!!!! Soooo, even tho the 1st Lady will have to go to work EARLY in the morning, think it will all work out ok. Now......it is supposed to snow in STL, soooo we hope it doesn't begin until we land there.

Ohhhh......we did make reservations for a month there at the RV Park next winter. That is exciting......now we need to reserve a site in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas for the 1st month after the Holidays and we will have two winter months taken care of......YEAH!!!!!

Ok.....the natives are getting restless here in this only arriving gate in the whole damned airport, so I will close this and get it posted.....I hope. Batteries are running low.....

Soooo, even with all of the problems,

Life is GREAT.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
