tripping home

After finding nothing but outrageous prices on United’s website as well as various other travel site, I decided to hop in the rental and head ten minutes down the road to the airport, to speak with someone in person about our predicament.  Long story short, Yolanda with United Airlines is my new favorite person in the world.  With doctor’s note in hand, she was able to get us onto a new flight on Tuesday afternoon with no fees, penalties, or anything.  Plus she booked us on the least full flight that day.

So, tomorrow we will chill and regroup, then Tuesday morning we will pack up and drive back down to LA to fly home.

quantity time

I’ve never been a big believer in “quality time” being more important than quantity time.  There’s just no substitute for lots of time with your children.  While the last three days Tracy and River spent cooped up in hotel and hospital rooms certainly was sad for them, I must say Raden and I have bonded so well, just hangin’ out together.  It’s an awesome, awesome feeling, and we are really good together :]

 Obviously tons more to say, but the time is not yet.  More to come, eventually.

  • January 1st Court TV becomes Tru TV. Does this mean the courts are untrue? #
  • River (Croup + bronchialitis + ear infection) = our family’s first overnight stay in a hospital :( #
  • Ok so everything has been settled: car, hotel, flight, leave extension. Now we are in limbo in Vegas until we can get another flight home. #
  • And River is ok. She will just be a little sicky poo for another week or so. #

I think it’s medical law for these things to be in hospital lobbys.

These guys pitched tents at 0600 THIS morning for Best Buy’s sale tomorrow. So much for Thanksgiving dinner!

[UPDATE] Apparently the first 100 customers got a 42″ Plasma TV for $100 or some such thing. Where was I on that one?
