We are in Michigan, safe and sound. And because I would hate to disappoint all my loyal readers who understand "McFarlane Luck" when it comes to our travel...errr...adventures, I will share with you our most recent adventure!
Last night, we were scheduled to leave Denver at 7:45 pm and to arrive in Grand Rapids at 12:15 am. Now, this was not the most ideal of circumstances as it stood. When we boarded on time, knowing that we were leaving a Winter Storm Watch and landing into a Freezing Rain Advisory, we felt pretty fortuate for our perceived change in travel luck. We pushed back on time, drove in a few circles and ended up in what we thought was Wyoming, waiting for our "Performance Report" before we could actually depart...45 minutes late.
So, arriving in Grand Rapids at 1:00 am, we waited, and waited, and waited for our luggage...until 1:30. Oh, and did I mention the freezing rain advisory started at 1:00 am? Sigh.
It was about 3:15 when we finall got to the house (thankfully it was mostly just rain at that time) and were in bed safe and sound by 3:45 am.
After a rotten night sleep, we are all up and really excited to be here. Watching last night's Red Wings/Dallas Stars game, planning our first trip to Jay's, and having coffee at 11:00 in the morning.
It's great to be home!
I first saw the car lights in the driveway early, early morning and then house lights (sigh of relief), and finally later I saw the normal early morning lights.....glad you are safely home. Talk about a crazy night's sleep, it must run in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI just know there is a good book in your travel "adventures"!

Welcome! Maybe you can drive to our side of the river Saturday or Sunday morning. I'll give you a call (but don't let yourself get stretched too thin!).
ReplyDeleteMiddle of the night ariport runs are very common on the river:) There were tire tracks...from the newspaper guy...one Christmas after I picked Meredith up from a scheduled 11pm arrival in Lansing:)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home and hope to see you and Chris if time allows:)
Did you forget to mention that your elderly parents were waiting for you at the airport and that we got home about the time that your dad usually get up??
