Flying bufoonery

Buffoonery. That is what our pilot called it today. Here is our flying adventure thus far. They cancelled our flight this morning so we left at 11 instead of 7. That was OK and the weather was great. Our connection in Atlanta was under an hour. That is too close for comfort on international flights. We arrived in Atlanta 10 minutes early...cool. Then we sat on the runway for 45 minutes. Actually we drove around the airport in a 757. The pilot finally called it buffoonery as they kept telling him we had a gate. When we arrived another plane was always there. We had some celebs on our plane...kind of. The old rock stars Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot were sitting around us. I listened to one of them tell their whole life story, kind of interesting.
Any way we dashed to our gate and then found out there was not a plane. They sent all of us across the airport to another gate and so here we are waiting. At least we will make it onto the plane. Adios amigos...til tomorrow.

Have a GREAT trip! I'll take care of things down at DermaChic for you - I'll go in and do a little inventory and see if you have too much product, which in turn I will help myself to the surplus . . . Hey, I just got back from church - I shouldn't be thinking about those 'sorts of things'! ! ! Have fun and post LOTS of pictures! See you soon.
PS I'll be looking for a 'new red dot' on my world map soon ! ! !
