Do You Know the Way to...

Oh MY! We are stuck in ABQ! We got to the airport on time this evening only to find out that Las Vegas, which was our connecting city, was basically shut down due to strong winds. They had delayed our flight and therefore, we would not make it to our connection for Burbank even if we could make it to Las Vegas later! So, we are in the Sleep Inn near the airport and watching bad TV shows and sleeping on so-so beds. (We have been staying in the Hyatt Place Suites which was amazing--42" flat screen with high definition, wireless Internet in the room, living room with L-shaped couch and ottoman, king size orthopedic super duper mattress, beautiful comp breakfast with Starbucks coffee for free every morning---and I got a terrific deal on Orbitz for an unbelievably low price!) We are paying $8 less for this room tonight and there is a huge difference. OKAY, We are SPOILED! But we do feel blessed that SWA helped us find this room and changed our flight to 8:45 AM and also changed the connecting city to Phoenix, AZ which is much better because Vegas has been getting crazzzzzy weather this year, including snow on the strip! Hopefully, we will be arriving in Burbank tomorrow morning and heading home to our babies, Pete & Shadow. I called Judi the Pet Lady and asked her to walk Pete tomorrow morning. I have never heard her voice so harried. She explained that several of her clients have called and are delayed because of weather! Also, her good friend had asked her to be on call in a couple of weeks for a grandbaby that was to arrive, and, you guessed it, the baby decided to come early. So, she has more jobs than she can handle right now. She is taking care of Pete though & we REALLY appreciate her! My husband & I hope you all had a blessed Christmas. We truly enjoyed being here in ABQ with loved ones. There are only a few more days left in 2008, so make the most of them.
