So we survived the plane ride. What can I say about it. It was long. Very long. Our travel time from leaving our house to arriving at our hotel was 25 hrs. All, of course, very worth it.
We did have one scary moment on the plane. It was when our plane was about to land at the Washington Dulles Airport. We were just about to touch down...literally just about to touch down. I was watching the runway getting closer and closer, when suddenly we were jerked upwards again. You could hear the engines rev up to high gear (is there such a thing on planes?) as we shot skyward again. We then began to circle the airport again. Of course Scott and I were looking at each other with our eyebrows raised. Then the pilot came on and said that there had been a plane in our way!!!! Yikes!
We are so glad that we got to leave when we did. Scott was just downstairs converting some money and on his way back up in the elevator one of the other families told him that the CCAA has just suspended all travel due to the swine flu. Talk about a close call!
