Waiting For Howard

Sue's dad made the flight from Erie to Detroit with no trouble. However, the plane has been delayed in Detroit for "unscheduled maintenance". They left the gate, then came back. The current information says that he will arrive in Fort Myers at 7:21, instead of the scheduled 6:00. I wouldn't be surprised to see that arrival time pushed even later. We will keep checking on the flight status online and make sure that we are there to greet him.
UPDATE: HOWARD CALLED AND SAID THAT THEY WERE TAXIING BACK TO GET IN LINE FOR TAKE-OFF. THAT'S GOOD NEWS. HE ALSO TOLD SUE THAT HE HAD A SEAT IN FIRST CLASS AND WAS SIPPING A GLASS OF WINE AS HE TALKED. EXCUUUUUUUSE ME!!!!!!

Grandpa always has the most drama when he is flying...and I am also jealous of the First Class treatment...I have never flown First Class.

I got bumped up to first class once. It's very cool (all you can drink and a hot towel!), but I'd never actually pay for it.

Hmm, where was I when those first class seats were made available? I guess I need to travel with your Grandpa if I want to fly in style.
