We landed in Maryland today! Getting here was the hard part though.... We woke up at about 6 only to have my lovely mother turn her phone on and get an email saying that our flight had been canceled. Needless to say we were not happy. They switched our flight to another one about an hour later then our previous one. When we got there we found out that we were all sitting in middle seats separate from each other. Oh and let me also add that when I fly I faint because of the altitude change so you see where this could be a problem. Now the story starts looking up - after a while the airline found a really nice person to switch his isle seat for my middle seat so I could sit next to my mom. My dad was still sitting separate from us, but it turned out that the man sitting in the window seat next to us was an old friend of ours! He switched seats with my dad so we could all sit together. How sweet right? We went to the rental car place, went through two cars (one wasn't big enough and in the other one of the seats wouldn't fold down) before we got the one we have, got lost for a little while (we wouldn't be us if we hadn't), checked into our hotel, had to switch room because the first one smelled like mold (yuck!) and brought in food from an Italian place nearby. Now I'm sitting in bed typing this. :)
I have to say so far I really like Maryland! It's pretty out and best of all...wait for it....it's under 80 degrees here! In California it's been ridiculously hot out (it got up to 105 one day!) so this is a nice break. When my dad went out for food he said he could've used a sweater! Tomorrow we'll probably wheel around Annapolis, but first I have to pre-register at the hospital and go see a hematologist (blood doctor). We'll see how it goes!

Hi from sunny & hot California!
ReplyDeleteSo great to see you, Barbara and Mike yesterday! Despite your rough start, I was happy Haeseung was there sitting next to your mom and we got to see you at Dulles. Yes, incredible you came to DC on the few days out of the year that the weather is nice here and even funnier that it is better than the OC. It is a good sign! See you soon! Much love, Ali

ReplyDeletePS. "Rainy Day Red" nail polish (I think Maybelline or OPI) is the Best for dreadful days. Love the poetry in a bottle (..considered a job in the nail polish name business Lol). Apply 2 coats and you will feel like Wonder Woman!
