IS THIS THE RIGHT LINE ???


Some of you are trying to read the blog with a magnifying glass. So I am trying to enlarge the type and make it darker. Not trying to be rude and shouting….just accommodating some sincere requests. 


This might be the goofy segment of the flight. We started at 3:30 am and it is 7:30 pm here in Boston. We will board the Azores Airline flight in 2 hours. An hour ago I was seriously wondering if I made the wrong destination choice.


It felt like I was in the wrong check in line. There were about 400 people in line to check into Icelandic Airlines next to me. 

There were 40 people in my line and most of them residents returning home. Counting me I recognized 5 actual tourists.


So these weird thoughts started circulating in my head. Like what if one of the volcanoes erupted and none of you emailed me about it? The islands are actually the tips of volcanoes, some still active, so don’t laugh it could happen.

Did I pick the wrong time to visit or has there been some kind of military action……..How can it be possible people would prefer to freeze their buns in Iceland and not warm them in a sea water natural swimming pool. How can that be? Where do these people go for tasty sea food and garlic dishes. Huh?


Discovery #1. On our trip is a movie recommendation. In flight movie was Tom Hanks, in A Man Called Otto. Put it on your list!  Excellent. The old fashioned kind you laugh and cry through. No violence, no sex scenes and laugh out loud funny.  Tom Hanks plays a grumpy widower…and he does it so well. Very believable and I know guys like that so I know what I am talking about. 


Well get some sleep. The photo  is what we hope to see when the sun comes up. BUT IT WILL BE MUCH LARGER, I PROMISE...........Hugs to all

    Hi Kathleen, I have enjoyed the few blogs you have written working my way to your latest. I read the book, ‘A Man Called Otto’, recommend it highly. Forgot they made it into a movie. Safe travels my friend 🤗

    I'm thinking just the fact the you didn't have to give up your carry on made this the right destination! Did you get much sleep on the flight?

      , I always fall asleep on these flights. Those 2 years of flying to Sacrament early Monday morning and back late Thursday afternoon, gave me lots of practice!

HAVOC PART 1 AND PART 2.

Image
  Havoc Part #1.  Well……Creating havoc wherever we go!  Seriously,  We are simply trying to order a couple of easy sandwiches at the Miami Airport. I mean how hard can it be…..We go the the Earl of Sandwich, and get in a line. It is in front of a computerized menu board. That was our first mistake today.  Now the fun begins, Donna selects a sandwich and I help her enter the various commands. Something is wrong we start over, then start over again and then start over again. Now the line is growing behind us and people are peeling off. They were just going to the counter to order, which we did not notice because we thought we HAD to order on this frustrating computer menu. It was like watching Mutt & Jeff, or perhaps Ding & Dong. After a half dozen attempts Donna suggests I stop trying to help her and let her do it! Huh, and that works the very first time I leave her alone. So obviously a computer glitch….Donna gets a table and I volunteer to go to the pick up line and get the or

Sky Lounge Serenade by Steve Martin impersonator!

Image
  STILL in Miami airport…..but sought refuge at the Delta Sky Lounge. Nice A/C, snacks, way to charge iPad and comfortable chairs. Pretty quiet too except for the guy sitting across from me.  A nice looking elegant older gentleman in a blue blazer top, tan pants, nice luggage and looks a lot like Steven Martin. (Is Steve Martin still alive?) Could be him?  But no mustache, could be a relative? It is very quiet here. He is focused on his cell phone…….holding it close so I know he has vision problems and refusing to wear glasses….He has a plate of salad, cheese and salami in front of him.  I can hardly keep from laughing out loud. The silence here is broken by his belching. I don’t mean once or twice, I mean about a dozen times. Not discrete little ones, loud ones that spoil his sophisticated image.  All the people around me keep looking over at him. It is suppose to be quiet in here. I already got in trouble from the Delta Sky Lounge snooty police for a cell phone call. Donna called me
