GOOD SUNDAY AFTERNOON, Weather DISer's!!!
So we left for our New England vacation and was welcomed by Hurricane Irene and returned home to San Diego and was welcomed by the Massive SoCal Blackout.
I never cried so much on a vacation as during those two weeks. No luggage for 5 days. No power at our RI/CT relatives houses. We stayed in more hotels than I cared too. Then at the close of our New England vacation Tropical Storm Lee hit CT and when I thought we had power, my IL's once again were w/o power. We arrived at GREEN/PRO airport to fly home only to have Green lose all their power. No computers were working, no one was sure if we would fly out or better still make our connections. Ugh. Finally on our way to DC. Landed late and was literally RUNNNNNNING from Terminal A to Terminal D. United personnel were actually mad we were late are you kidddddding me. We get to our seats and get this the pilot comes on and states he has the good news and the bad news ..the good news is San Diego is having one beautiful sunny day (as from RI to DC it was literally MONSOONS pouring down rain) but the bad news was the plane's A/C was not working and it would be about 40 minutes before we left. WHATTTTTTT and the United personnel was angry WE were late ..The hits just keep on coming. WE were LITERALLY the last plane to land in San Diego the very LAST plane .and BANG no power anywhere at all in the entire county ..
Our 45 minute drive from the airport to our home was 3+ hours due to the nightmare at every traffic light ...
Our best time was the seven days in Downeast Maine where we had SUN SUN SUN!
We welcomed my brother home from Afghanistan. Yeah, safe and sound. All my brothers and sisters and their families were all together!!!!!
Today my family celebrates the 9/11 Anniversary being so very thankful that my DH made it out of the WTC and that my brother, a Col in the Army, made it out of the Pentagon. That was and still remains the worst day of my life as I never heard from my husband for 4+ hours after the Towers came down.
So on a lighter note, we have decided to drive to Disneyland for a few days!!!!!
12:08pm in San Diego, bright sun, lovely breeze and 73 degrees.![]()
