Oh How I Love to Fly

As I posted earlier, my flying experiences are few and far in between but when I do fly it's always an adventure.

So my flight from Roanoke was to leave at 12:30 and I arrive at the airport around 10:45 and get my bags checked in, etc. and then I say goodbye to Chuck and settle down to read my book.

An hour later, they announce that the pilot cannot land due to the fog so he is headed to Charleston, WV, will refuel and then decide whether he's coming back to try and land. Great I say.... Well I go down to the main checkout to get another flight which takes about one and half hours to book the flight, uncheck luggage with one airline, recheck luggage with another airline, etc. So at 1:30 I call Chuck and ask if he will come and get me. My flight doesn't leave until 5:45 now and I fly to Charlotte first and then to Milwaukee. I hope to get to Milwaukee around 9 pm tonight.

Chuck picked me up, took me for some lunch and then we came home for alittle while until he gets to take me back. I need to be back there around 4 or so since we board at at 5:15. What a fun day...........

More on the adventure when I return (that is if I get to go).
