I'm Not Riding THAT! A Trip With Character! Piper's Wish Trip 3/2-8 - Upd-4/20

[LuccaDrake]

What is this...Jordan's TR?!? I'm off the DIS for 2 days and suddenly there's 11 pages on this thing! Glad to hear you ladies are back safe and sound. I'm excited to see how your trip unfolds and especially as to why you would ever possibly need a 'downgrade'. Hmm....

~Beka~

Great update! Mom's can be a bit frustrating sometimes can't they? Good thing our daughters never think that about us

It was so nice of them to let her go into the cockpit even if she was a bit apprehensive.

Glad your plane wasn't delayed further then it was!

So glad you've landed and now the real fun can begin!

 

[pipersmom]

Don't I feel dumb?! I've been checking your PTR for updates and didn't think to check here. Doh! Welcome home! I look forward to reading all about your trip!

LOL Kelly! I understand and to the other side!

Ohh..so I do have someone wondering what the downgrade is all about..mwwwahahaha! It is moving rather quickly, but until I hit 6 pages in a day, I am not at Jordan-ary proportions! LOL! Anyway..welcome back!

Nah, Piper and Caitlin never get frustrated with us I was glad the plane wasn't delayed too! I can't wait for the next update either, lots of village pics :

I had NO idea you could order non-spicy chicken..so now you tell me!! What kind of friend are you anyway???

Never done anything like that, huh? Details, we want detaiiiiiiiiils! Tell Aleks by noon tomorrow there will be something on here she'll want to see

We'll just say I had the tickets for something and the people at the gate didn't..... Oops... my bad!

And yes! They have the non-spicy version, but who wants that crud?!?! Aleks actually..... she likes the non-spicy chicken biscuits there. And have you tried a boberry biscuit? Great when you need a sugar rush followed by a semi-comatose state of bliss.

 

[Rosiekins]

I am so excited to read this report! I was touched by your Pretrip report (I just found it last week) and can't wait to hear all about your trip!

 

[GreatBiscuit]

on the blizzard, on having to backtrack through the airport, on new food, on the captains chair, on landing in Orlando. Can't wait to read more!

LOL Jenn! Hmm @ Bojangles...the closest one to us is about 30 minutes, may have to check it out next time we're going in that direction though! :

I wish I had thought to give you all a heads up on the layout and food offerings in Charlotte for your layover. I'm glad you all found something to eat. Were you in concourse A at all by any chance?

 

[jenb1023]

My mom is a smoker too so I can relate! When they went to WDW with us I had to be patient and understanding when she needed a pit stop.

Thanks goodness you were able to give her the ticket and get back through the airport quickly enough. How nice of Bojangles!

Don't you love when your kid does not react how you think they she will when someone does something nice for her? DD's great grandma gave her $20 the other day and she was like oh thanks. Would a little enthusiasm be too much to ask?

The snow and deicing would have freaked me out!

Those I-Spy bags seem to be a great way to pass the time on the plane!

A cliffhanger! Now I am going to wonder what the downgrade comment meant.

We were in B..US Air, and I think C on the way back. I don't think I ever mentioned we were going through Charlotte, so no worries! We got smarter on the return trip

The airport was really the only place the smoking was an issue! The rest of the trip it wasn't at all. It was very cool of Bojangles to do that.

I think if I'd been freaking out, Piper probably would have been, when things like that happen though..I just think to myself "How many people fly every day and how many plane crashes happen?". It's a good reality check

Tomorrow night

Trying to be patient, but can't wait to read more. I too am wondering about the downgrade.

 

[pipersmom]

You can imagine Piper's surprise when we were at Gram's yesterday and the mail lady came knocking with yet another package for her! This one came from Xanphylus and her daughter Aleks as a welcome home surprise package! On with the pictures!!!

Opening the package:

A beaded necklace kit:

Very cute socks:

The piece de la resistance:

Can you tell she was excited?

Half-modelling it...we'll post a real modelling piccie in the near future:

All kinds of cards from Jenn and her girl scout troop:

And last but not least, all the wonderful things that were in the package:

Jenn, thank you all so much..it was such an awesome surprise for Piper, she totally couldn't believe she was getting another package even though she was back from her trip! Tell Aleks I will take a piccie of her with the shirt on, then they both can post them!

 

[DisMomAmy]

I'm so glad your flight made it out! That's so funny about Piper not wanting to sit in the pilot's seat!

Sorry about the ticket/security fiasco! I'm glad it all worked out - thank goodness for cell phones!

 

[DisMomAmy]

And Yay for welcome home packages!! That was so nice of Xanphylus and Aleks!!
