"Bless He Heart"







Lets  just start this little blog off by saying I'm 37,998 feet above CO..... yes that does mean I am using WiFi on a plane!

Yes, I know that you are just as excited as me that there is now WiFi on planes (free, might I add, if you have enough email addresses :P) but here's the deal we are going to Vietnam. The plane was scheduled to leave out of Chs at 6:59pm (it was on time); we got to the airport at roughly 5pm and didn't check in until 6:25. At this point one would ask themselves, "Self, what could they possible be doing for 1.5hrs  thats preventing them from checking in?" Well, its like this... 

1. Jordan has this cough. A Dr. decides the cough sounds bad. Dr. calls in a prescription at the nearest pharmacy, Kerr Drug (1.2 miles away). Jack volunteers to go take JB to get meds. It's 1.2 miles away. Jack took Cyn's car. The car has built in navigation. Jack has an iphone with GPS software. It's 1.2 miles away. Jack gets lost. Jack calls mom. Mom dosent know how to get there. 10 min. Gene calls Jack. Jack is still lost. Gene asks if anyone knows how to get there. No one knows. The car has built in navigation. Jack has an iphone with GPS software. 15 min. Someone calls  Jack again. He is 5 mins away from Mtp. Mom's  freaking out. Gene gets Jack straight (on how to get there). Everythings dandy. NOT ! It's now 6:20. Everyone has already checked in. The kind lady behind the counter informs us that they in 5 mins they cant check anymore bags. JB and Jack aren't back. Everybody calls Jack & Jordan. They say they are pulling into the airport. We learn that we can check JB in w/o an ID bc he is a minor. Mom checks Jordan in with the the 2 bags. They arrive just in time. There is peace on earth. Not so fast.....
2. Karlayne has this heart problem. She went to the Dr. to get some test. The IV blew. The test couldn't be completed. Karlayne calls (6:20) and says she's not coming. Mom talks to her. Michael talks to her. There is going to be one empty seat on the way to Vietnam.

Thats the end of the Charleston saga. Now for the lovely ATL airport. We arrive with enough time to get some food until we board at 9:23 to go to SFO. The food was good but in true Hotlanta fashion our plane was delayed. Not only was the plane delayed we had to move terminals. We were at gate T26 and had to go to A32.  Our plane didn't leave till 10:30. The plane ride is roughly 4.5 hrs. Our plane departs at 1:35 from SFO and according to this handy personal screen thing we will arrive in SFO at 12:58. Thats 37 minuets. We have to go through baggage claim, re-check in, and get to our gate in 37 mins. 

We are slowly descending into SFO. Altitude:16015  (pics will come later)

  1. Whoa, are you serious? Talk about eventful! Glad you finally made it! It probably wasn't funny at the time, but your post and constant reference to the fact that he had a built in GPS unit made me laugh. Be safe and keep blogging!
