FLAG DAY 2016
 
Another day of travel and this was a biggie!   We left for the Albuquerque airport at 4:15 AM(mountain time).    Our flight was on time for Houston (Hobby Airport) and had a 1-hour layover but that turned into almost 3 hours.    Our plane was having mechanical issues and they were waiting for another one to replace it.    So.....finally, on our way.    90 miles outside of Atlanta, the captain announced that we were going to fly around the area for 40 minutes or so as there were storms in Atlanta.     So we circled around and around for 45 minutes and then he announced that we were heading to Panama City, FL  We needed fuel and weather was still unstable in Atlanta plus they were not allowing any arrivals.    We were able to get off the plane, but with all the passengers deplaning and filling up with fuel, it was about a 40-minute turn-around.
 
Lots of cheers and hand clapping when we finally arrived in Atlanta    Six hours late!!!!!!!
Got our bags, took shuttle back the hotel to get in Toad and finally on our way to Lake James.
 
 Grandma and Grandpa are sad that we're missing out on Blair and Brothers time....
 
Till tomorrow...
