WE FINALLY MADE IT! My alarm clock went off at 4:30 Monday morning so we could catch a ride with Michael to San Antonio. That's where our plane departed...departed, now that's a funny word. It was suppose to "DEPART" at 5:12 pm...it was delayed...then delayed again, then delayed again...we boarded, taxied down the runway...and sat...and waited...finally we took off. We arrived in Chicago to hurry to our connecting flight to Indy (it was miracalously still waiting to take off or we would have missed it) to wait some more. After boarding, we taxied again to wait some more, long enough that they turned off the lights and we all tried to sleep. The plane finally landed in Indy at 1:05 am and we sat some more because there was nobody around, I guess, to bring the exit ramp thingy to the plane. So they finally opened the door and we walked over to it and out to freedom. I do not know how people stand it that have been trapped in their planes on the runway for 8 hours. I would have went MAD! We got a taxi and made it to our hotel, only to find that they did not have us a room! 2:00 am by this time and the man graciously found us a room (which mean't we were in the bed about 3:00 am) and this morning after waking up, get ready, this is cool...to a Starbucks coffee and a blueberry scone in my hand, brought to me by my husband, at almost 10:00 am (do you know how long it has been since I have slept that late and how much longer it has been since I was brought coffee in bed?!) we moved to another room permanently. The bed is fluffy and to die for! Hurray, we are here and after chilling for today, tonight we will have a workshop and then the full days begin.
It will be a fun but full week and after it's over on Saturday we fly back to Chicago for a few days to celebrate our "30th!" Update posts to come!
