I left PD on Wednesday the 18th -- a chilly blustery day -- heading to Rapid City. Judi and I would fly out on Friday to Seattle, meet up with Debi and board the "Westerdam" for our first ever sistie quilt cruise.
My road trip north was uneventful...partly cloudy, windy, misty, but lots of beautiful scenery. As I got closer to RC it became more overcast with a little more moisture...as in wipers on all of the time. It rained all day Thursday -- constant and steady -- a-l-l d-a-y l-o-n-g. Obviously their spring rain was going to bring flowers in June!
Judi and I had a 12:50 p.m. flight to Salt Lake on Friday. We arrived 75 minutes prior to boarding, as instructed. As time approached no plane was in sight. Unfortunately it had mechanical problems, still sitting in Minneapolis and would not be arriving as scheduled. Delay upon delay, we finally departed at 4:40 p.m., made it to SEA/TAC (as everyone refers to the airport)--got the shuttle to hotel, ordered room service and went to bed. Debi had been there since 5ish and had her own adventure -- discovering a bed bug and having to relocate to another room!
The next day would be Saturday, May 21st our boarding day ... our adventure would soon begin!
