Our flight home yesterday was about half an hour late leaving, but somehow we made it up and got in on time.
It was a fairly smooth ride considering we were going into the storm area near Florida.
I could keep an eye on the pilots from my seat! 😂Excellent service on British Airways … champagne was flowing freely … then a choice of 3 course lunches. Mark and I had the Chicken Curry.
Mark was enjoying the flight until we started descending from 38,000 feet. Then his head felt full and stuffy. By the time we landed his eyes were red and he couldn’t hear anything. 😳
This hurricane is 400 miles wide, so it was difficult to avoid it. Nonetheless, we got into the Orlando Airport fine, going through customs was easy, especially having that known traveler information added to our flights. We had a little trouble finding our hired ride home. The woman was on the wrong level waiting for us. Then, she told us to go down to the first level and she would pick us up. But that didn’t work either so we had to haul our 4 bags back up where we originally were. In future, I think we would just call Uber once we got our bags.
The ride home was hair-raising too! She’s quite a talker and likes to talk with her hands … off the steering wheel. If she wasn’t talking with her hands, she was patting her dog Georgie who was sitting in the front seat. We tore up her business card when we got home and won’t be using her service again.🙄
Nancy had the house nice and tidy for us and all the bedding had been washed. We had a drink with her last night and did a few chores, then went to bed about 10 o’clock. It was so nice to sleep in our own comfy bed.
This morning, Mark wasn’t feeling well and found out he has Covid. There were a lot of people on the tour bus coughing a few days ago, so I guess that’s probably the source. Anyway, he got a telephone visit with the nurse practitioner and I picked up medication for both of us at Walgreens. The nurse practitioner felt that if Mark had it it’s inevitable that I will eventually have it. So … we’re treating it even though I’m testing negative. (I do have a raspy voice, but have a attributed it to my Gerd.)
The kids were excited to see us, but obviously had been having a lot of fun with Nancy. There were toys scattered about and they were happy. We think maybe BeeZee had put on a little bit of weight as she was walking like a walrus. 😂 We intended to weigh them this morning, but forgot. Maybe tomorrow.
Randy and Dawn called this evening and we had a good chat. Randy has been having some health problems … it’s been just one thing after the other. Hopefully he’s on the mend. ❤️🩹
It’s now just after 10 o’clock and we’re getting some winds around 40 to 50 mile an hour. It’ll be a windy night, but hopefully nothing more than that in our area. We feel for the people in the path of this monster storm. I hope they have heeded the warning and evacuated as necessary. The area where it’s coming in to Florida floods easily with a high tide. They’re talking a big storm surge with hurricane Helene.
That’s it for tonight. Stay safe wherever you are.
