Leaving Raleigh in brilliant early morning sunshine. Even Jasmin, getting over a 'flu-like cold caught at Summer camp, had a bright smile. Flight to Dulles went fine........then things went downhill rather than skyward for a while! 
Sat on the tarmac for almost three hours in the tiny commuter jet. The heavens were heaving up North, many air routes closed to the Northeast. Three hours with a cup of water and a fabulous flight attendant (a former high school teacher) who did her best, and succeeded, to entertain and placate us. Thank you Nancy from St. Louis, you are one of United's best.

Thank you Nancy from St. Louis, you are one of United's best.We arrived in New Hampshire, hungry! We stepped out into the drizzly rain and discovered it was cool - no actually it was cold. However we were safe and our luggage was there. Traveling can sometimes be harrowing but it's still worthwhile. We're off to Boston tomorrow.......hope the sun comes out and I can get photos to share with you.

Every airline needs a Nancy! You sound like a seasoned traveller, Mary. I imagine you thrive on obstacles like that! Have fun! xx
ReplyDeleteAnother summer day in New England. Tomorrow you'll roast. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Hopefully you'll get down to Beacon Hill to peak in all the charming nooks & crannies.
ReplyDeleteooooohhhh Boston, we loved it, take the hop on hop off trolley tour, its brilliant. The market too........and the shops, and the food, and the hotel!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time, wish I was there with you!!!
I had been seeing that New England has been getting a lot of rain. Maybe you can push some of it down here while you are there. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time.
Well I'm sure only better things await! Enjoy your trip! ~Lori
ReplyDeleteMan anyone who has traveled much has had those experiences. Every time I have a rough time I promise myself I'm never going again. But there I am sweating it out somewhere. Looking forward to the pictures from Boston. Blessings

Oh, I always thought it would be so neat to spend the 4th in Boston. Will you be able to see the Boston Pops?
ReplyDeleteOne year one of our bus trip companies went, but we did not go. Have a great time.
Nancy
I'm glad all are safe! Sorry about the rain! Hope you get to see some of the NE without rain!
