Thankful Thursday--Miami edition

Did you hear about the mess with the FAA today? We did. Apparently,
their computer system crahshed, nationwide, this morning. We heard
about it at the gate for our flight, about half an hour after we were
supposed to leave. But, I'm thankful for a smartphone so I could get
the scoop. And I'm thankful that nearly all of the time, the FAA
system works flawlessly, getting us here, there, and everywhere. With
the computer system down, the FAA was doing everything by hand, and
I'm grateful for the nameless men and women who must have been so
stressed today but who still did their jobs and got us to Miami by
12:10.

I'm grateful for nice hotel rooms and cookies at check-in. And I'm
grateful for convertibles and perfect driving-with-the-top-down weather.

Mostly, I'm grateful to be traveling with my best travel buddy, my
best friend, my sweet husband.
