I made it to the airport this morning, all due to the TOTALLY UNBOUNDED GOOD AND SWEET NATURE of our own DR dear Laura !
The gods were smiling on me, and I got upgraded to First on both legs of my trip to Philadelphia. Yes, that is where I am at the moment. I also had reserved a very inexpensive little compact car at Hertz online, and when I got to the Gold #1 Club area and found my car, it was a brand new, cute as anything, little PT Cruiser.
So it was an unexpectedly good trip..... and I even had one of the nicest layovers at O'Hare in Chicago, that I can remember. Usually that is a noisy and totally boring airport terminal to me, but today was great!
