We arrived HOME on Catrina in Oxford at 3:25 this afternoon - hot and sunny; but after driving 4 hours in very heavy rain this morning, anything would be better! Hats off and cheers to Mark for getting us here safe 'n sound! It was awful coming thru parts of Ohio, but more so in Pennsylvania.
Not much else newsworthy in our travels.....did stop at a service plaza on the turnpike in OH (these are very nice and have a good variety of restaurants, etc.) This particular one had a huge Panera - part of it was express (mainly coffee and pastries) and then a large area with full menu and lots of seating.
Stopped at Taylor's Produce for a cantaloupe, tomatoes, cucumber, HUGE peach and blueberries.
So....we turned on the air, got the bags unpacked and settled in starting a grocery list.

I got my hair cut at 5:00 - so appreciated Lisa getting me in as I canceled twice since we were gone longer than expected. She was telling me about the terrific flooding at BWI (Baltimore airport's long-term parking) on August 12th - 2 days after we picked up the truck and drove home cause flights were full. I went online and sure enough....pictures and several articles about the very hard rain (500-1,000 year flood) that came fast and furious. That full flight and then our drive home was meant to be. What a shock for those passengers to find when they returned to their vehicles!

So glad you are safely back on Catrina. I had seen pictures of the Baltimore airport right after you had to drive back to Illinois. I figured you had seen these so did not mention. I really thought it was great that you did not get to fly to Bloomington when all this flooding occurred. Yes, you just never know what will happen but know that you were being looked upon from above. Have a good weekend and hope you do not have too much rain like you had on your travel today. Love, JudyB
