Hubby and I are home as of very late last night (12 midnight or even a bit later). We were supposed to have had a 2:50 pm flight from Fort Lauderdale to a small airport in our state, but the flight was delayed for over 4 hours. Then the flight took a bit longer because of extremely poor visibility due to the heavy rain. I have to say the visibility was pretty bad as we approached the area. A flight attendant told me on the way out of the plane that we were lucky we weren’t redirected to Pittsburgh, PA, which was considered. Then at our home area airport you have to go outside to leave the plane. They don’t have the sleeves going into the airport. It was a downpour! Then they took forever to get our luggage into the baggage claim. People were severely complaining and yelling, etc., in the spirit of the people from my area. Then once we got our luggage, we had a long walk to our car during extreme downpour. It was pretty unpleasant, especially for the odd-ball people who were still wearing flip flops and shorts. Anyway, I’m happy to be home. We woke up around 8 am then went to get our bird boy. He’s happy to be home. It’s nice to have him with us.
