A unexpected treat

Baltimore

Since the merger with Delta things have been less than smooth sailing. The operation is great as long as everything runs perfectly, but it is very rare that it ever runs perfectly. There have been so many cuts to combine the operation that if there is any weather or a mechanical you fall through the cracks into "never land". That was this trip. One thing after another and we found ourselves stuck in New York with a small mechanical. Hours later we were fixed and under way, but too late to fly our scheduled trip to Albuquerque. The unexpected treat was getting reassigned to fly into Baltimore. That is where Karen's sister lives. It was so much fun! It was Richard's birthday and I was able to spend the night there and celebrate his birthday with some of their friends. They have this fun dance video game that we played and it was a blast. It was almost like being home. I really enjoyed the time there and it was truly an unexpected treat.
