I had a wonderful quick overnight in Seattle and then Eileen Gunn took me to the airport to catch my 4pm plane home. All was well until we started circling around NJ. (the flight was due in 12 midnight). Lots of cloud cover, a bit of turbulence. We'd been told that we would be on the ground
by 12:30 but 12:30 rolled by and I still couldn't see any lights or any progress --only heavy clouds. I admit that I was starting to freak out because there were no further announcements and most of the other passengers were sleeping. However, we finally did land about 1am without incident.
I've learned my lesson--don't fly to Newark airport late at night. The Airtrain was not working up to speed and after missing the 1:32 train to Penn Station, I and one other passenger from my plane caught the last train of the night at 2:03. got in my door 3am. Got to bed 3:45. Cats very happy to see me and we all slept late.
Very happy to be home. (although I leave for a few days in Florida Wednesday--to visit my folks).
