Sunday - Fight arrived 22 minutes early
Monday - Flight arrived on time
Tuesday - Flight arrived 12 minutes late

I checked our flight on Saturday (I could do that even though it is only Thursday and as of right now our flight is on time!).
I have been tracking Mount Heartburn as well...
Saturday - headline read Iceland Volcano Eyjafjallajökull Is Back, More Flight Bans Feared in the Days to Come but Barcelona airport unaffected.
Sunday - headline read Northern Ireland and Scottish Airports Closed Because of the Return of the Volcanic Ash Cloud but Barcelona airport unaffected

Tuesday - headline read Clear Skies Over Europe, as Winds Clean up UK’s Airspace of Volcanic Ash Cloud Barcelona
Thursday - no new news coverage and you know what they say...no news is good news
I have been tracking the shopping habits of the North American West Orange-its and found the following:
Saturday - local woman purchases digital camera after much agony
Sunday - local woman purchases comfortable shoes, process causes much pain
Monday, Tuesday - all quiet on the front
Wednesday - locals converge on dry cleaners and woman receives digital camera and hands it over to local man for construction
Thursday - local woman takes back digital camera and pretends to take pictures of local man. Local man deletes photos and takes pictures of local cat (Goodie)
Friday - locals take off from work to perform last minute tasks, local man goes to mall (why do today what can be done tomorrow) in search of comfortable shoes and dress shirts
Who is vacationing this week in the French Riveria you ask?

Ridley Scott's Robin Hood with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett opens the festival.
Tuesday - Rumors abound about America's newest darlings making an appearance in Cannes or possibly the on the Promenade des Anglais.
Thursday - Cate Blanchett shares a bottle of wine with local man while local woman consoles Russell Crowe over recent news stories abound about Crowes Irish accent.
Finally, I've been checking out the weather in Italy and France. Earlier in the week I would have said "don't shoot the messenger" but the weather has cleared up and seems quite pleasant.

ReplyDeleteI don't post it at 4:15 I just schedule it for that time. I did not get up until 6AM today. I slept in today b/c Mo's jetlag article said to get plenty of rest.
ReplyDeleteI think Karen's dose of Pepto Bismal took care of the belly ache that the volcano had. Look out Europe here come the Griswolds, or no, I mean the Langs.
