we are off….

In Miami, halfway through a three hour layover for our nightflight to Buenos Aires.

Had to walk from one end of this muggy airport to the other and there were no slidewalks until the very last bit.

Dinner was tasty salads and actually an OK screwtop bottle of White Zin.

The flight here was bumpy but worth it for the AMAZING sunset. We dropped through cloud mountains to fly below them and above wispy cotton candy.  Think of any cliche, cartoon clouds and that’s what we were flying through, and the sky was an stunning layered sherbet array, pink to green to blue. It was an entire landscape. Quite lovely. I was in the window seat, a nice perservering young lady was in the middle and Mom was on the aisle reading her book.

And now we sit here, I’m getting a refill at a  Samsung charging tree, two very Miami hip young men were nice and vacated their seats for us . And then it’s on the plane and off to BA, which is EAST of us, and so we will land at 8 there time, 6 am eastern. BA is east of us, you would think it wouldn’t take the map in the back of the airplane magazine for me to realize that.

Here’s GAYLA:

Had set the clock for 7:30, but got a phone call from a friend at 6:45, so up and had a quiet morning finishing putting things in the suitcase.  Met the Daughter at the airport at Noon and here we are waiting for the long flight.  I think both Lis and I are a little dopey from lack of sleep, all she can talk about is “slidewalks” and “charging trees”.  I will come home with a whole new vocabulary and be very hip.  We both need to sleep on the plane.

MOM’s first blog entry… YEA!
