We were pleased and relieved to learn a few minutes ago that Kathy's niece Gina was rerouted this morning after a one-day delay and will be flying from ABQ (Albuquerque) to PVD (Providence RI) today, through Atlanta rather than through Boston. We could have provided a couple of other options, but nothing that could deliver her to PVD before tomorrow.
Like son David, who endured sixteen hours in the last row flying from BOM (Mumbai) to EWR (Newark NJ) last week, she's in the back of the bus but at least she'll be able to go back to work tomorrow.
She's a lot better off than some passengers as airlines and airports continue over the next few days to unravel the weather mess.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
