Home Again!

The final day of our trip was our travel day home. We were up early and ready to go. LaQuinta's van shuttled us there in good time, we checked our bags, cleared security and then we were on our way.

Although our flight from Boston to Chicago wasn't really "late," by the time we landed and taxied the 300 miles (just kidding, but we did taxi a very long time) to our gate our Chicago to Seattle flight was already boarding. We hopped off the one plane and were very glad the other one was only a few doors down. Seated and ready to go we were VERY pleased to see from the window that our luggage had made the flight too!

Safely in Seattle we grabbed our bags and then headed upstairs to check them in. For your reference-American Airlines doesn't have an "agreement" with Southwest so they don't automatically transfer your bags. Not a problem for us as we had two hours before our Seattle to Spokane flight.

Back at our gate and waiting to board and with an hour to kill, we were missing our usual "lunch" which has been for this trip anyway, ice cream cones; so at Michael's urging, okay, he didn't need to twist my arm, I walked down to find out what we could get in the frozen treat department. We ended up with frosty's from Wendy's.

Jamie (Carynn's husband) was waiting for us when we arrived. After snagging our luggage one last time we headed to their home. After being enthusiastically greeted by Ty and Carynn, checking out Claire (who had been boarding at C & J's) and visiting for a bit, Carynn did the honors and drove us home. Where we found all was well.

Good night!
