Yawn

Guess where I am? My living room!

Ok, ok let me back up. Yesterday was our final day in Vienna, Austria. We went on a tour in the morning to Schonburn Palace (sp?) where a 6 year old Mozart played for Marie Antoinette. It was so hot there, and Donna swears she will never ever live anywhere humid again. After the palace tour, we went on a tour of the city, which was ok, but it was a lot of time on the bus and not walking.

Last night we had a nice final dinner in Austria, and I was pleased with Explorica's menu. I remember the old company use to make us eat chicken and fries all of the time. Ugh. So this was wonderful.

This morning, the Florida group left the hotel really really early, and Alba went to the airport with them. We were catching a bus later to meet her at the airport. We said good bye to Susan & Geo who were doing an extension, and to Trey who was meeting his father this morning to travel to Rome and Paris before flying home in two weeks. Then we went to the airport, we picked our seats on British Airways, and then Alba said Donna was upset.

Donna was flying Delta through Atlanta to Pittsburgh to pick up our daughter before flying to Phoenix in a few days, but here flight to GA was delayed for OVER FIVE HOURS! She was really upset, and she walked us to our security but couldn't go through with us. I kept thinking she had a chance to catch her connection, but she was pessimistic about it. Eventually we took off for Phoenix, and all of our seats were together in the middle of the plane. We watched several movies, read, and slept. Then we landed.

Lacey's bag is still in the UK, unfortunately. They said they'll deliver it to her house sometime soon, and that wasn't fun. Then all the kids go to see their parents and went home, and Matt's parents drove me home. I called Donna's mom from the car and she said that Donna had infact made her flight in GA but only after running through the airport.

To me, it's 5:36AM. Donna just called me to tell me she made her flight and just got off the plane in Pittsburgh to go see Claire at baggage claim, and now I can go to bed.

PLANS: Look for two things in the future: 1.) I will be posting hundreds of pictures to my Flickr account and attach a link here. 2.)All travelers will be invited to MY house within about 2 weeks to share pictures, etc...
