Traveling!

I don't know what kind of hellious storm went through Detroit yesterday prior to my arrival there, but that place was a mess and gave all new meaning to the words incompetent ground crew. I should have flown through Chicago. The good news is that once I move, I will use a different airport as my home airport and I will be able to use Memphis as the hub to get to South Carolina. Its 5:30 am and most of you know I am not a morning person so this is dang early for me because technically it is 4:30 for me. The engineers wanted to be at the supplier at 7 am this morning. Truly not my favorite people at this time of the morning. I keep adding another lamp to the "I will wake up this morning" mix here.

So Detroit - Our flight got into Detroit early. I had an hour and a half lay over, during which I was planning on enjoying a burger from Fudruckers. For anyone who has flown into Detroit the new terminal is like ten miles away from where you land so you taxi forever. We get over to our gate and we stop, not at our gate but away from it waiting for another plane to vacate it. 5-10 minutes later the pilot comes on "they are getting ready to move the plane we should only be here a couple more minutes." Ten minutes later, pilot comes on "Ladies and Gentlemen, they have gone ahead and changed our gate, we will be entering in Bravo 6. We should just be a few minutes to get over to that gate." So off we go to that gate, but again don't pull up to it because there is no there to wave us in. Ten minutes later the pilot comes on "L and G, we are sorry for the delay thank you for your patience, please stay in your seats with your seatbelts fastened we should only be a few minutes more." I have no patience, especially when my bladder is screaming! We get to the gate finally, people start standing up, my bladder is anxiously awaiting deplaning. No gate agent to manuever jetway to the plane. We waited another 25 minutes for that to happen. The pilot actually came on at one point and said "L and G, we are beginning to wonder if we will be spending more time on the tarmac here in Detroit than we did in flight to Detroit.

I can only say that storm that went through prior must have been a mammoth one, because it certainly caused a cluster. Once I got inside, no time for a burger, and there were people at my gate trying desperately to get to Greenville. And then a guy from the supplier I am seeing today showed up. He had been in Detroit since the night before due to storms. It must have been bad if O'hare looked better.

Not sure where we are at with the house. Haven't been there since Saturday. But my realtor got home from vacation last night so I am certain he will go out to the site today and I will get a report.

Thats all for this morning. Dolce Beijos.
