Well, we flew to Elko yesterday from San Carlos and it was a pretty bumpy ride over those mountains. I learned several valuable lessons:
1) Always carry an extra barf bag (ok, what is the politically correct term? air sickness bag?) in case one has a hole in it.
2) A sleeping bag, even a wet, very smelly sleeping bag, is still warm when the cabin temperature drops to 32 degrees.
3) The person who gets motion sickness should not be the one in charge of keeping the head set on the upset wriggling toddler for 3 hours.
Doesn't flying sound glamorous? :-)
You all can extrapolate the rest. At any rate, I was never happier to see my dear Uncle Dave's smiling face when we landed. He kindly chauffered us to our hotel, and then took us out for a real Basque meal (Peter's first!). I think we were all a bit disturbed by the amount of food we were expected to eat, but managed to enjoy ourselves nonetheless with Beth and Kristen helping to keep the little guy happy and occupied until well past his bed time.
Congratulations to Jan and John Maas who have been married for 50 years, and whose big old celebration provided the occasion for this mini family reunion! I told Martin we are definitely having dancing at our 50-year wedding anniversary party. Woo hoo!
We depart in a couple of hours for South Dakota, and I have a new pre-flight checklist that includes Drammamine. Wish us luck!
