Bon Voyage

Well, the big family visit is over.  My brother and sister-in-law were here for a week which went very quickly. Lots of fun and good family time, not to mention a marthon Mexican Train event that spanned four evenings.  Today, the day of fond farewells, started well. My other brother drove them to the airport through very nasty weather at 5:30am.  I rode along to be able to say that fond farewell.  We stayed with them til they went through security, waved farewell and headed back across town. As we left the airport the sign still sayed that their flight to Minneapolis was departing on  time.  Then followed the texts:
7:47am  flight delayed..
7:56am  delay is due to weather in Minneapolis
8:37am leaving the terminal
9:51am on the plane, waiting for a weather update
1:03pm back in the terminal

At this point I invited them to come back to my place and try again tomorrow but they had things scheduled tomorrow in Spokane.

2:48pm on our way
4:26pm taxiing to the gate in Minneapolis
5:38pm made it to MSP, leaving for Spokane in about five hours

And that's the last I've heard from them.  
more tomorrow....
