The Night Chicago Died – Paper Lace
Hell, which as every frequent traveler knows, is in Concourse D of O’Hare Airport.— Dave Barry.
#13 up next! Glory, glory!
We made it home with no issues. Hallelujah. And on September 11.
Only 4 glasses of wine?
Yes! 2 for me and 2 for my mother.
Glad you’re home, safe and sound, And traveling away from Washington D.C. on September 11, I assume, should be safer than flying toward D.C. , but then again, who knows, and I’m sure the events of 9/11 crossed all traveler’s minds, today, especially those who were flying. By the way, my wife is in Chi-town at a company conference and flying home tomorrow evening. I was thinking you could have gone and stayed in her hotel room while you were waiting at O’Hare, but then I remembered she said it took her two hours to get from the airport to her hotel room. It isn’t that she is far away from the airport, but the traffic there is turrrbul.
You forgot one oversold tour bus and a few more glasses of wine after that 🙂
true.
Glad you’re back home. When’s you next trip? Either by auto, taxi (to the wine store), plane, eagle or imagination……….
Pat – I hope my next trip is Dairy Hollow with you and Dorothy! yay. T.
Welcome Home! WE need to do a trip sometime! Glad you had some Kelsey time! 🙂
i am telling you, if you put scenes like this in a movie-the reviewer would be talking about how ridiculous and impossible that these things would happen like that!
this doesn’t happen to everyone?
