Day 4: Saturday, February 22, 1994
Velma drove me to the airport in Portland, Maine where we said goodbye.
My flight is headed to LaGuardia Airport in New York.
“The LaGuardia airport is located on the waterfront in the Borough of Queens, New York City. LaGuardia handles mostly domestic flights and is only 9 miles from Midtown Manhattan. It is named after Fiorello LaGuardia, the former mayor of New York. It is the smallest of New York’s three major commercial airports.”
At the airport in LaGuardia, I bought my daughter a T-shirt that said, New York.
One of her dreams is to visit New York City.
I made a quick telephone call home to tell my husband that I had landed in LaGuardia and I was waiting for my flight to Atlanta.
While I was on the telephone, there was an announcement, that said, because of the weather everyone flying to Atlanta had to board another plane.
I looked around and everyone was gone, they had boarded the plane. I almost missed my flight.
I quickly boarded the plane and I was seated between two men.
The man sitting on the right of me was from New York and he had moved to Atlanta, Georgia.
The man on the left of me was from France and he was now living in the United States.
The man from France and I struck up a conversation and we talked the entire flight to Atlanta, Georgia.
During the flight, we were served dinner and the man from France and I kept talking.
The man from Atlanta, Georgia said, “ I have never heard two people talk as much as the two of you.” The man from France was going to Atlanta and needed to know more information about Atlanta, so he struck up a conversation with the man from Atlanta.
The plane landed in Atlanta I said goodbye to both men.
They said goodbye to me and they started walking and talking to each other.
I walked to the waiting area for my flight to Huntsville, Alabama.
That flight took a little over one hour.
My husband was waiting to pick me up at the airport.
My trip had been quite an adventure where, I got to visit my old friend, to take a moonlight sleigh ride; to eat at Cheers in Boston, and to make a new friend on the flight home.
