At 5:30 this morning I looked to my left to see a pair of excited eyes looking at me. It seemed as if HW2 was hoping it was Christmas morning and could we go. But, she was not thinking of presents, rather, of getting our trip finally underway. We quickly showered and breakfasted and got the motor home and car ready to be moved to storage right at our RV park where we have been staying just west of Omaha. Kristy and two of the grands showed up at about 9am to take us to the airport.
We decided to make some of the traveling over several days. Today's part was to get from Omaha to Chicago and onto JFK airport in New York City. We had quite a long layover in Chicago and so had a late lunch in the Chicago Grill at O'Hare Airport and managed to misplace the book I was reading and lose a jacket that HW2 was carrying. We looked for both items but no luck. Some one has a very nice jacket, and someone else is reading a good Clancy story.
Undeterred, we got back on the plane at Chicago and arrived at JFK in New York City, glad to find our bags and get transportation to our motel for the night. It seemed to be quite a maze to get from our place of debarkation from the plane to the baggage area, then to the train to get ground transportation to the motel.
The noise of other travelers is something. You get to hear strident voices on cell phones, and others talking in a miriad of languages that we do not understand. This trip to Greece and Turkey will keep us for the next month among people from many lands and cultures. What a treat this will be as we seek to learn about them! We have never traveled to either Greece or Turkey, so it will be quite an adventure. Also, we get to travel with very good friends Phyllis and Pat from Connecticut. Happy travels!!!!
