trains, planes, and automobiles

It was an adventure getting home. Really everything went well considering. The bad storms we had in Cinci Thurs. night, hit JFK Friday night when I was trying to fly in. After sitting on the tarmac waiting to take off because of bad weather in NY, a pause over Columbus as we did a circle to kill some time, and some really bumpy turbulence on the way in, we landed. Areas of the airport were lakes so you could tell they had had some really heavy rain.

Although there were a lot of cancellations and delays at JFK because of high winds and strong rain, my flight boarded on time. Thank goodness for international flights getting priority. There were a lot of frustrated people at the airport--some talked of sleeping on the floor and some who literally cheered when boarding was announced for their flight.

So then the problem was the fog that developed from the rain. Visibility was .25 mile. We waited about 1 1/2-2 hrs. in line to take off. I think they build in an hour for the typical wait, so we were only an hour late getting in.

I got my bags ok and went to the train station in the airport to catch one to York, but there happened to be a problem with the line. They directed me to a coach to drive us to a station up the line, beyond the problem. Not knowing exactly what train I was suppose to take, I was lucky to find one 3 minutes before it was suppose to leave. Luckily, the platform was close by and I was able to force the doors open to get on.

So I finally got to the York train station and called Pat who was coming to pick me up. That was about 2:00, about 21 hours after I started traveling. Of course, he was wondering where I was because it never takes that long. But I'm home. And if for no other reason, I'm glad to be here because I don't have to look another plane, train, or automobile in the eye unless I want to.
