The last two days of holiday travel have not been good for those along the eastern coast. We have experienced snow from the southern states all the way up to the New England states. Needless to say my work has been more difficult and included longer work days. Yesterday was a 14 hour duty day. It will probably take a couple days to get things back to normal. And, by that I mean flight crews, aircraft and passengers where they were suppose to be.
I quickly found my hotel room last night and tucked my tired body under warm covers. Slept well. Slept late. Woke to sunshine, cold temperatures, snow on the ground and a stiff wind. I quickly voted against taking a walk and splurged on breakfast in the hotel restaurant. After consuming a Godfather omelet, I headed up to my room to iron my shirt and prepare for day four of this trip. Outside of the elevators I stopped to enjoy the Christmas tree before it comes down for the season. With the new year quickly approaching I got in one more Christmas photo, my last one for this year. I sincerely hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and hope you have a wonderful week!

This is a beautiful glimpse of the tree, Monte. I was watching the reporters interview stranded passengers at airports and thought of you. I hope you get back home without too much trouble.

Well, back home where it’s cold, gray and windy, but nowhere near an airport for the next three days. Two of our 4 days were shaken up due to the weather but overall it was not too bad. The rest will do wonders. Have a great week!

Wouldn’t you know it, I woke up early and could not get back to sleep. Just laid there under the covers for about 45 minutes then crawled out of bed.

What a lovely and warm Christmas photo.
You must need some serious catching up on rest by now. I hope you have some time off coming up soon.
Monte Stevens
I have 3 days for recovery then back out on Friday morning. I will use the time off as best as I can.

At this stage in my life the quiet times are some of my best times. 🙂
