Travel...
Praise the Lord for great friends! Thursday Jared drove me up and dropped me off in Elgin at Jason and Karen's.(thanks again Zobe!) Schambach hospitality was once again awesome:)... I must say that I am royally spoiled when I go there!
Jason got up at the unreasonable hour of 3am to drive me to Ohare for my 5:50 flight... and once again the flight stories of Warren continued.
My connection in Atlanta I knew would be tight... 30 minutes to be exact. We arrived in Atlanta 20 minutes early so I was breathing a sigh of relief, however there ended up being no gates available to we didn't get off the plane until 9:15 and my connection was 9:30 departure. Other than the brief help from the train, I was at an all out sprint(man am I out of shape) across the airport and as I rounded the corner to concourse E, I heard the last call for my flight. They had to re check me in at the gate because they had closed the ticket scanner. Whew, Just made it!
Customs and Immigration went great! I was hardly even questioned about me paperwork, Praise the Lord for that!
When I arrived in Mobay I found one bag, but my hard to miss red plastic tote didn't make it:(
1 1/2 hours later... I had completed the lost bag claim and hopefully will get my bag sometime this week. Pray that it arrives with everything in it!
