And now we're really off!

It has been a whirlwind of a trip so far...
1) our flight was canceled on Friday because JFK airport was closed
2) so after a hectic day of  trying to get another flight out, we resign ourselves to leave on Monday
3) there is a weekend of worry about the upcoming storm and the threat of more delays
     (Including a generous offer by my brother Tim to let us use his hotel points and I embarrassingly
       Misunderstood and told Paula he would drive us to New York... I'm delusional!!)
4) We have a 130 pm flight on Monday to NYC, but in an attempt to outwit mother nature, we
     Decide to drive there with Paula's husband Tom and my dad at 4 am Monday
5) We look and there is an earlier flight at 6am so we book that
6)I get a call at 3am Monday, the 6 am flight is canceled
7) We decide to drive there...total mad dash to get to NYC
8) We get to NYC around 1230, only to find out the 130 flight out of Buffalo took off, and Tom
     Radel and my dad are driving into a storm and parts of the thruway are being closed

I can almost hear your collective sighs.  The good news?  We're finally in New York and our flight to Ghana is still on!  (At least for now!!!)

Stay tuned...next post is from Ghana!!  :-)
