SYSTEM SHOCK!!!

FROM WINTER TO SUMMER TO WINTER IN 5 DAYS.....

DAY 1

 

Day 1 actually started the night before.  Sunday January 25 to be exact.  Major snow storm predicted to hit our area beginning Sunday afternoon.  Our flight was to leave Pittsburgh at 7:00 a.m. Monday morning.  Oh Boy!!!!

 

 

Nancy and I left home at 3 p.m. Sunday.  Arrived at our hotel a little over an hour later, approximately 4 p.m.  Checked in.  Had supper.  Watched TV - weather forecast not good.

 

 

My suitcase on the left - yellow - for 5 days

Nancy's suitcase on the right - green - for 5 days



 

My 2 battery operated clocks - just to be safe.  By the way the 4:25 was in the afternoon when we checked in. 





 

Decided to get to bed early, get up early, and head for the PARKING SPOT, the place I leave my car when flying.  It was only 5 minutes from the hotel.  Piece of cake.  I completely forgot that the famous rabbit hole is very good at following me around.  Neither one of us could sleep.  Everytime we looked out the window the snow was coming down and coming down.

 

 

Finally at 3 a.m. we decided to check out, go to the Parking Spot, get shuttled to the airport and wait, wait, wait for check-in.

 

 

Car covered with about 8 inches of snow, and still coming down.  Took what seemed like forever to get rid of the snow.  Luckily I had my scraper/brush with me.  Roads were covered, but the  road crews had already been out.  Arrived at the P.S., left the car and were shuttled to the airport.  By now it was 3:45 a.m.  HOWEVER Apple Tours begin their check-in at 4 a.m.

 

The rabbit hole was still sleeping.  Little did I know what that darned hole was planning!!!!

 

Got checked in, thru security, baggage checked and were at the proper gate.  Found out this was a charter flight, non-stop from Pittsburgh to Cancun.   By the way did I tell you we were going to Cancun?

 

Boarding right on time.  Then learned we had to be de-iced.  We got in line for that fun thing.  Two hours later we finally took off.  I went to sleep almost immediately and did not wake up until about 60 minutes before landing.  Needless to say it was good flight.

 

 

 

 

The first four were the de-icing process.  The last is finally on our way.  This is the last thing I remember until almost time to land.

 

Next blog will cover arriving, and let you know I found out what the rabbit hole was planning.

 

Today just keeps snowing.  My hill-top covered, decided I was not going to Church as I do not feel like walking up my hill in the snow.  Even tho I have all-wheel drive, I don't feel completely at ease.  All the fault of the rabbit hole.

 

Everyone stay warm, safe, and God Bless.
