After saying
good-bye to my wife and 2 daughters I passed through security and waited for my
flight.....while waving every few seconds to my young daughters on the other
side of the security window. I miss them already.
I arrived safe and
sound after a very comfortable flight aboard Delta Airlines with one stop at
their hub in Salt Lake City. We did have a few minutes of excitement
during a rough ride through a very large thunder storm....that the crew handled
very well. The planes were those small
Canadair Regional Jets with 2 rows of seats on each side with a centre isle. When I left my little west coast of
Canadian city
on the pacific ocean, it was sunny with temps of 19C
or 66F (we were having a bit of a pleasant mid-summer cold spell). Kansas
City was somewhat warmer than home........but that is why air conditioning
and bottled water were invented.
To say I don't do
well in hot climates is a severe understatement and to even up the odds I
purchased a variety of small electric fans......2 USB fans for the laptop and 5
battery powered fans for more mobile use. Below are the battery operated
fans I brought along.....yup....they are very cheap.....so I brought
spares.....the red and white Canadian flag one was my joking wife's idea.
She figured it would get a few laughs.
I look forward to
getting out tomorrow on the opening day of the Nationals.
