Across the Border

Greetings! I have gone on a mini-vacation and crossed the Miami-Dade border to head north again to New York. This trip will be short but definitely needed. I needed a break from the 90 degree temps everyday! Although there is no air conditioning up here so that's not really helping things. I'm still sweating but just not as much. I flew in last night with a stop over in Atlanta. We sat on the runway forever due to a thunderstorm. It was neat to watch, seeing the bolts of lightning coming down over the city of Atlanta, but it was no fun sitting in a window seat waiting to take off. Eventually we did (thank God it wasn't one of those ordeals you hear about - like sitting on the runway for hours not being able to go back to the gate) and the thunderstorm/sky show was pretty cool from the air. When we landed in New York a little after midnight, it was hilarious! I saw these 2 guys waving their flashlight-things around so that the plane would pull up to their gate, but we kept going, and went past them and stopped at a gate where there was no one around and nothing happened (no one was home). We sat there for about 5 minutes before the Captain came on and said we pulled up to the wrong gate and had to back up - slowly. It was also funny too in Atlanta with the guys on the ground. Two of them were dancing with their flashlight-things, waving them around as our plane taxied towards the runway. They probably do that a lot and have different dances depending on their moods and to kill the time. But now I am here and already had a few outings. I will post some pictures when I get back to the 305!
