Tues April 1 - Fri. April 4

We left for the Orlando airport, which is about 40min away.about 11:00. My flight was to leave at 2:25, but I wanted to be there early enough so I had time to get to the right gate ( I didn't want to get on the wrong plane and end up in Syberia!) I was flying home for our grandson Matthew's confirmation. Since I haven't flown since 9/11,I was a little nervous about getting through security. Jan came into the airport lobby with me and showed me where to go. I knew you had to take your shoes off, but wouldn't you know I get to security and forgot to take off my shoes, da!! which they informed me I had to do before I could go through the body scan. Well I made it to the right gate. Good thing I gave myself enough time because I had to walk quite a ways to get there. Sitting there waiting to board the plane it amazed me how many people fly and nobody dresses up anymore... The outfits, oh my !! Well I got to my assigned seat on the plane and a flight attendent came by and said "are you Audrey?" I of course  said yes (I was thinking oh dear, what did I do now) he said we have a seat up front holding for you if you would like in the business section. So I grabbed my bags and made my way back up the aisle to the front of the plane and another flight attendant said you are Audrey? I answered and she showed me to a seat which was definitely better, more leg room & the seat next to me was vacant. All the while I was wondering why my assigned seat was changed (yes I did shower that morning) I asked the attendant. She said sometimes if there are empty seats available they will upgrade someone and I was the lucky one!! That was great they even brought me a bottle of water. The flight was so smooth, at times it felt we weren't even moving. We landed in Chicago at midway and what a temperature change It was 79 in Orlando  when I left and 45 in Chicago. Nancy, Matthew & Zachary  met me at the airport.i decided to rent a car for the 2days I was going to be home since my car we tow behind the RV was in FL. I do love to fly and it was so clear I got some good pictures.
