We Made it Home

We did finally arrive home on Friday, March 16 after too many hours of travel. We were supposed to fly into Pittsburgh Thursday night but as we were going through the customs line at Newark International Airport we found out that our flight had been canceled due to the weather. What weather? As we had flown in there was no mention of bad weather and it was 50 degrees. All the chatter in the lines suggested that a winter storm was headed for New Jersey and no one would be getting out on their flights until Friday afternoon at the earliest. One of the airport employees at the counter suggested to us that we rent a car and drive home ahead of the storm, since we may not be able to get out until Saturday, possibly Sunday. So thats what we did. Of course, no one was up to driving 8 hours home after all the flying we had been through, but we took turns and arrived home around 3:30 in the morning. We had beat the storm. And it was great to be home and even better to see Amy and Bailey who had come home earlier in the evening. I sure did miss them. No more time away for me for awhile.
