Travel

Going places has been harder than normal lately, and I'm not just referring to increased security or traffic. There have been lots of little and unexpected things happering my trips or the arrival of my guests.

I was going to meet a half-sister I've never met, only to find out I wrote the wrong weekend down and it was past before I was ready.

I was all set to go visit my sister, Byjo, when something came up and I had to cancel at the last moment.

My sister, Byjo, was coming down to visit for Will's b-day and a freak snow storm was predicted.

My cousin Lori came to visit and while Will and I set at the airport for close to 1-1/2 hours, she walked right by us and paid $45 for a cab to take her to the hotel -- cussing my name the whole way I'm sure.

I've been trying to schedule a time when Bonnet and I can drive to Ft. Worth to see my sister during Bonnet's visit. This day didn't work, that day didn't work. It's taken us a week to decide on a date.

Bonnet was to arrive at the airport at 10:45 (the exact time I'm writing this post). She called me from the airport she was leaving from - snowed in. She finally got a flight into Denver. The next flight to Austin doesn't leave until nearly 9:00 in the morning. She'll be spending a long night in the airport.

Bonnet flies home the morning that Dave, Steve's brother, and his family fly in. Luckily they fly in that night. Unfortunately, they fly in at close to 10 at night in San Antonio. LOL

The following day we all drive to the coast for a family get together.

I have to admit to being more than a little worried about the upcoming trips. Maybe I'll throw some salt over my shoulder before we leave.

Or, buy a rabbits foot.
