Home at Last

I did finally make it back to Bella Vista and home.  It just took 26 hours from the time I boarded the plane in Miami until I walked off the plane in Bentonville.  The ship seems very far away now.  I do need to rest up now that I am home.

Can't Get Home From Here

Here I am in Houston on Friday when I should have been home.   All of the flights out of Houston yesterday afternoon were changed because of the man with the gun.  He came in and shot in the air and then refused to drop the gun and ended up dead.  An entire concourse was shut down and it was the one I was to leave on.  My first flight was canceled.  I was re-booked and then that was delayed and finally canceled at 10:00 p.m. last night.  Now it is 6:30 in the morning and I have a 10:30 a.m. flight out if everything goes well.  I did find a motel room for the night so at least I did not have to stay in the airport.  Hope to be home soon and will post when I get there and have internet.

Miami

Here I am back in the USA. I got off the ship around 10:30 a.m. It took awhile to get my luggage and get a porter to help me carry it out to customs and then to FedEX to ship. Then another 45 minutes before the shuttle left for Miami Airport. I have been at the Sheraton long enough to call Matt and Doug, call USAA to start my car insurance again, and to eat lunch. I am sitting in on the patio now. We had some excitement when the iguana showed up on the walk below. Here I have been all around the world and this is the closest I have been to one. I ship feels like a long time ago. Sitting out and enjoying the weather is great. Home tomorrow and I pick up Hunter and TC the next day.
