I've arrived!

After an interesting day, I made it into White Plains last night around 6:30. My day started off with a 3 hour flight from KC to Philly. I ended up sitting next to a woman who was probably in her mid to late 50s that didn't speak English. Additionally, she was traveling with a baby on her lap. He was probably 14 months if I had to guess. She was very nice, but obviously we couldn't communicate. I had to help her get in and out of her bag a few times to get stuff for the baby and before the flight attendant would come over she'd try to work with me to make sure I knew what she needed so it didn't cause too much distraction for the flight attendant. She spoke enough English words that it ended up alright. The baby was pretty good too (thank goodness!). He fell asleep shortly after takeoff and slept for about 2 hours. But, he was fussy when he woke up and cried for probably 15 minutes. I felt so bad for her because you could tell it was exactly what she didn't want to happen. All in all, I thought it was a neat experience.

When we got into Philly and were about to board the plane, they told us there was a maintenance issue. Great. We ended up being delayed for about an hour. The funny thing is, I think that it probably isn't much more than an hour to drive from Philly to White Plains! The flight wasn't even 30 minutes long. The issue they had was with the A/C. I'm not sure they really got it fixed because it was still pretty warm on the flight. Luckliy it was short.

Aaron was waiting for me when I landed and we got our rental car and checked into the hotel. It is really nice! We used some points he had earned traveling to book the room and it is one of the nicest rooms I've stayed in. We don't have a way to post pics until we get home, but I'll take some and post them after we return.
