Back to the cold.....

Yes, I arrived safe and sound. Both flights were uneventful, unlike the one that hit the Hudson. I heard about that crash just as we were boarding in San Diego. In spite of 10 minute delay for "mechanical reasons" (the pilot needed to run the engine because of something he noticed during his outside check), no one decided NOT to fly and we arrived in Washington, on time! That was good, because I had a very short transfer time. No up-grading to business class this trip *snif*

Now I'm back in Germany, one hour EARLIER then planned because of strong tail winds.... according to the pilot, stronger then he's ever experienced in his career.

Now I'm back to the snow and around 0°C (32°F) My suitcase is half unpacked, the rest will be done tomorrow. My daughter, Regina, has already brought the cat back. And on Monday it's back to work again!

Now I'll see how much catching up I can do.... probably not much.

  2. Glad you had an uneventful trip. Back to reality, huh? lol. Get some rest. Plane rides make me so tired/exhausted, just from sitting there, believe it or not. HA. Hugs.

  7. Wow, that was fast! Glad you made it home safely, and hopefully you will adjust to the "shivers" and cold weather.

    I bet the kids, grandkids, and Shiana, and your Wheelie, and other friends all missed you sooo much!

    It will be fun reading about your dance classes again too!

    ((hugs)) and a great weekend to you!
