Flying to Tennessee

As always, air travel is risky. There is a huge storm predicted for the east coast, and the weather in Tennessee is supposed to be cold. They just got hit with a snowfall, unusual for them, and more is apparently on the way. I have been stranded in Chicago many times, but am hoping not to repeat the experience.

Wouldn't it be grand if you could get a direct flight to anyplace you need to go? The risk of being stranded anywhere would be greatly reduced. Far be it from me to redesign the current state of air travel, but it does seem that there should be an overhaul and upgrade to the mess we endure now.


I turn it over to the good Lord and determine to enjoy the trip as much as possible. My sister has booked my trip well. I am seated on the one seat side of the aisle of the tiny aircraft and do not have to fight over arm rests or leg room. Since I have opted to travel very light (basically one change of clothes and only my necessary toiletries), I can put my pink bag neatly under the seat in front of me, sit back and relax.

For once, the flights go as planned, and before lunch (thanks to the 6 am first flight), I am greeting my brother at the airport and heading out to my sister's to spend the day with Mom. Not bad. I can only pray the flight home will be as uneventful and smooth.
