Gadget’s Airstream Chronicles

Tom isn’t here.  He was supposed to be though.  He’s somewhere at the moment, but not in Arizona.

Yesterday I received an e-mail from Tom.  He was writing from Orlando International Airport.  He was writing after the departure time of his flight.

See, Tom got on his plane, and then he sat there forever.  Apparently electrical problems occurred.  Hmmm…..that’s what I like to hear when I get on a plane, don’t you?

After being stuck on the tarmac for a while the plane was moved back to the terminal.  Everyone got off the plane, and that’s where the fun begins.  No alternate flights.  Flights to Texas with no promise of connecting flights.  The travel equivalent of the word “maybe.”

So, in the end Tom and I talked at about 9 a.m. PST.  I was running into my insurance company to add the Versa to my policy and Tom was calling from Orlando International.  He would not be arriving, and he described all of the fun!

This morning I received another e-mail from Tom.  He was writing from Atlanta’s airport, and he’s on the way!  So, we’ll get the special “guest appearance” of Tom on the Airstream Chronicles once more!
