It's NEVER Too Late, for Number 8 - the most UNOFFICIAL, 'official' AKL thread yet!

Wow Laura, what a day! I'm glad you finally got home safely.

Happy Friday afternoon Js & Ks!!

I got a text from Elin this morning as they were in the town car heading to Roswell for the seminar.

We have a possibility of storms here later this evening -- I hope that doesn't mess with their flight home.

Speaking of storms, I had an adventure getting back to ATL last night from St. Louis.

I had a 3:20pm (Central time) flight that was already delayed to 4pm when we got to the airport. The plane was making its approach when a violent storm came out of nowhere and after a couple of tries, the plane was diverted to Memphis!

They had us ready to head to the tornado shelters. Lambert-St. Louis Airport still isn't fully repaired from the tornado they had in April 2011. It didn't do well in this storm either, several of the "jet-bridges" detached from the high winds!

Eventually (4+ hours later) our plane arrived and we were able to head to ATL! The flight took an extra 45 minutes because we had to fly around the storms.

So 11pm on a Thursday night, heading home from the airport -- HUGE traffic jam in downtown Atlanta!!

Good to be back home! I had to turn down an opportunity to go to Ft Drum soon because it conflicts with my WDW TRIP!!!!


Wishing you all a great weekend!

Boy that sucks,,, sounds like you were just trying too hard to have fun!

I am glad you are safe and sound at home!

Thanks for the good wishes! Things are going well, and I'm counting down to Wed when I drive thru that arch! My fav part of entering WDW. Always get a thrill driving under. Then you know you've arrived!

Wicked T storm here today.

Whew! What a trip! Enjoy your weekend, too!

It was very stressful -- more so for the many passengers who had connecting flights in ATL. For the 4+ hours this was all taking place, the Delta employee working our gate (a young woman) is probably the reason the chaos didn't erupt into tempers flaring!!

That awesome employee kept us posted on what was going on and always kept a smile on her face. At one point she was working 3 delayed flights at her gate! She was re-booking flights at a pace I've never seen!

I felt worst for the Soldiers who were heading home on leave (6 or 7). They were all spending the night either in St. Louis or Atlanta. None of them were able to make it home last night.


No storms here in ATL after all. Elin texted a little while ago from the town car. She and her colleagues are on their way to ATL Airport for their flight home tonight.

I know just how you feel. If things don't get a whole lot better a whole lot faster, I'm going to be in the "not going to WDW" bunch again in less than a month.

You both really need a WDW trip! I hope things work out for you to go soon Kimmar. Alison oh how I hope and pray that Fran heals and starts to feel better quickly.

Thanks, we see the Rhuematoligist on Monday morning and wound Dr. on Monday afternoon. They ACTUALLY TALKED WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!! last week, so maybe we can have some kind of joint healing where she doesn't Nuclear bomb her immune system and cause MRSA to set in, but she can get a little relief from the symptoms of RA. Maybe then we can reconsider canceling our trip, especially since I am brave enough to dress her wounds!

Oh no! I thought everything was on the right track?

Thanks everyone. Technically nothing is "wrong". She is improving, but not as quickly as the Doctor would like to see. That is one of the reasons that he called her Rhuematologist, he wanted to see if any studies had been done on her as to why the wounds are not closing up quickly. He estimates about a month for the two small ones and two months for the larger ones.

What it comes down to is if she is willing to travel while she still has a couple open sores, and no relief from the RA. Her joints are so stiff that any movement at all is excruciatingly painful. I'm not sure I want to subject her to a plane trip and WDW heat in that sort of condition. We have until September 9 to decide (30 DVC cancellation window).
