Air Flights Home!

We had a few scheduled flights for the trip home. Our flight into Detroit was delayed by de-icing and once at the airport, our 'slot' was filled by another plane having maintenance problems. By the time we finally left the plane, we were too late to make our next connection - our rescheduled flight left two hours later. Finally in Albany, the staff of Cape Air (our connection to Ogdensburg) was friendly and helpful - I watched as one gal tried to make connections for a solder trying to get back to Fort Drum. He too had missed a connection somewhere in his travels. I also noticed he was carrying his favorite pillow.

Finally, it was time for us to climb into our little Cessna and head to Ogdensburg - the plane was cold inside, we sat in the last row - there were six passengers, a pilot and co-pilot. We arrived safely, rushed to get inside the terminal where it was warm and noticed our two suitcases were there waiting for us. It took us another two hours to drive home. Home again - Smoky was happy to see us. We got everything inside, found something to eat, then crawled into bed - we'd been up for 36 hours.
