Saying Goodbye for Six Weeks

Our 12 noon flight gave us time to do last minute packing of our day backpacks.  All of our activity the last few days has left our Golden Retriever, Copper, anxious and wondering what’s going on.  As we’re loading up our daughter’s car, he is literally attempting to get in—any way he can.  He even jumped up onto the car and peered into the window at me.  Our son had to pull him off.   I then just lost it.  My two boys are going to be best friends for the next six weeks.

It’s always nice to depart from our local John Wayne Airport; so convenient, so easy.  However, sometimes, because of connections, it doesn’t always pan out well.  After all, other parts of the country often experience “weather”--something we’re not used to in Southern California.  So, here we sit, in Chicago, already delayed two hours because Newark Airport is closed due to a storm.   Currently, our arrival in Newark is scheduled to be around 12 p.m.  One advantage to our early morning arrival will be that no one else will be on the road as we attempt to make our way out of Newark airport and head north to West Point.  Since we didn’t Google map our hotel, we’ll be totally dependent upon our newly purchased Garmin Nuvi GPS system.   Could be interesting.
