Today I got up and headed for the Atlanta airport about 2:45 AM. I am headed to Yakima WA to visit my Aunt Sue. If you have followed my journey for awhile, you may recall other pilgrimages I have made to see my honorary Aunt Sue and Uncle Ron in Washington state. Before we could plan my visit for this past August, Sue suffered a brain aneurysm and has been working hard to regain in rehab ever since. Thus I did not go at my usual time. When Uncle Ron rather suddenly died in October, I decided I wanted to make the journey to see Sue. So today I am on my way for a long weekend. This will be a different kind of Yakima trip but I am excited to see Sue and experience Yakima in November. It already has proven adventurous. My plane has been delayed and new arrangements were made by the airline to get me to my destination after midnight. So thanks to Maggie, the rep in Boise who helped me on the phone, plans have been flipped around making my arrival in Yakima the same with less travel time in a rental car. In addition, the airline bought me breakfast and well..... I met a guy. A.T. was just hanging out in the airport gift shop with no plans for the weekend. He asked if he could go with me. And I said, yes!
We'll keep you posted!
