bye bye baby

Sunday night we took daddy to the airport and we stayed with him till he had to go to security .he called us when he was boarding to say goodnight and good bye ..... then he called an hour later to say the the bathroom door hinge on the plane was broke and they had to fix it before they left ....then 15 minutes later he called to say that as they were on the run way waiting for said hinge to be fixed someone had passed out and they were now taxiing back to the gate because that person needed help and they should leave "real soon " per the pilot
well they left at 9:05
this may sound a bit bothersome ...but it meant that he was probably not going to get to LAX in time for his next flight to Australia .he originally had a 2 hour lay over but that got eaten up real fast .He had me call around to see what he could do about his plight and what if he missed his flight (i rhymed ) well i found out he was SOL because the next flight was Monday night at 11:00 and he had to get off his plane and over to another terminal that he would have to catch a bus for and the likely hood of that was next to nothing they said . all of this is going on and him with out a cigarette .GRUMPY!
well they held the other flight about 30 minutes and had a special( no not little) bus come get them and drove them to the international flight .so he made it ! he called me when he got on board and said that he entered on the wrong floor of the plane and got to use the SPIRAL staircase to get to his lower level . fancy !
he said he was "give out" and was going to sleep because here it was midnight /1:00 .
I talked to him at 5:30 /6:00 today and they had just landed.safely.we talked at 8:00 and he was at the hotel he took a shower and was going to a lunch meeting .The boys thought it was cool that it was only lunch time .
So he is off to a full day and we will hope to talk to him sometime tomorrow
