Afternoon tithe...

Braving the gauntlet and flying to Phoenix to be with my mom and sister for Thanksgiving. Our forlorn hope is that by leaving today (Saturday) and flying back on Thursday (Thanksgiving day), we can avoid the scrum that will be travel midweek and late next week.

My 'easiest' airport / flight experiences have been travelling ON Christmas Day in the past: airports are eerily vacant. Haven't travelled on Thanksgiving day before, so we'll see how this goes.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends here! [&o]

+1 to travel on the holiday. When I was in the military I got some leave around Christmas time to travel to the wife's home Province and return in time for Jan. 2 duty. We flew in on Christmas Eve to a nearly empty airport late in the evening (only connecting flight available). On the way back we drove the 125 miles to the same airport city but had to wait overnight for the flight early next morning.

It was NY eve and we went to the best hotel in the city and asked for a basic room. The hotel was pretty much empty so they took one look at a guy in uniform with his wife and two little kids and gave us their best suite on the top floor for no extra charge! The only drawback is that when we tried to give the kids a bath there was no hot water coming out of the tap. It was really cold outside and the water felt ice cold. Hotel staff came up but concluded it was just that no one was using hot water in the empty hotel so we had to draw the hot water all the way up from the basement, warming the pipes too before it got reasonably warm at the tub! Took about 40 minutes! The kids just wrapped themselves in the adult-sized bath robes and watched TV while waiting! Very nice gesture on the part of the hotel. [:)]

Well congrats GP. But this INP awards show is getting stale. We demand representation from underrepresented minorities - like women!

In the meantime, how about a Swede?

Good Sunday evening - Tithe. [&o][&o][&o]

First weekend in quite a while that we have not visited the house. Of course, we were just there on Wednesday and will be stopping over again this Tuesday afternoon. Instead, this weekend was very productive with packing. Everything that doesn't have to stay our for another week is completely packed. We have boxes stacked everywhere. LOL

Sounds like it's going well Mike....GP
