Good news my friends, this one is considerably shorter!

I stayed with Jaime intermittently while in PA. I called for Sunday flights (20 April) and there were none to Ramstein near me, so I skipped a day and enjoyed some rest.

Monday's flights were better, with one out of McGuire on a C5 and one out of BWI which was commercial. The flights were an ( Read more... )

Luckily my friends, this time around was not so difficult. No less frustrating, I assure you!

I called for flights on 10 April, a Thursday, to find that they had one flight, Charleston via Norfolk. It was an evening flight, which meant no wee morning hour driving. However, either of those destinations was a guaranteed rental car and four-hour drive ( Read more... )

Things are busy busy and there aren't enough hours in a day or days in a week. I have a TON of stuff to do on my "relaxing weekend' (aka not leaving the house today) and tons more to do before I leave next week. Get excited ( Read more... )

I quit my job today. SUPER excited. It was the easiest job ever, but I just can't deal with the stupidity. The unprofessionalism. Cleaning up after people when I'm almost the youngest one there. My wacko boss and dirty manager.

Somebody asked me yesterday what it was like at the airport, and I realized it was probably the best part of the whole 20 days with Jay ( Read more... )

I hope as long as I live, I never forget what it felt like to put Jay back on a plane today.  Even moreso, I hope I never forget what it felt like to see his face come through those doors, and to see that smile in person for the first time in 10 months ( Read more... )

Jay flies in at 0640 tomorrow morning! Headed to Frankfurt at 430 to pick him up, and I CAN'T WAIT ( Read more... )

It's been quite awhile since I got a 6am phone call. But today's was the best yet!! Jay is in Kuwait (!) and will know at 1630 their time (2:30pm mine) what time his flight is. He goes to Kuwait Int'l Airport at 730pm my time and if all goes well, should be here early tomorrow morning ( Read more... )
