Today we left for our 2 week farm tour to South America. At 9 AM our neighbors and good friends Rod and Shelly Bradshaw stopped by the farm to give a ride to the airport. They are 2 of the 6 of us from Innisfail that are going to tour South America for the next 2 weeks. Also touring with us were our friends and neighbors John and Corry Buyks.
With the recent bomb scares happening down east airport security was extremely tight. This meant no carry on bags. They even refused Shelley to board the plane because her purse was too big. Luckily she had a large wallet that could serve as a purse and she was allowed to put her purse in her suitcase. Elna had a small purse and had no trouble. Rod and John had small little packs (razor case and small bag) that they took. I thought I was smarter than the rest and checked everything in my suitcase.
We eventually left Calgary and after a quick connection in Houston Texas we arrived in Miami at 10:30 PM. This is great, grab our suitcases, go to the rental car agency to get our car, drive to the hotel, have supper and the day will be done.
Only one small detail, my suitcase was still in Houston, and I was in Miami. The airline promised me it would arrive around noon tomorrow. The joke was I was going to have to borrow Elna's toothbrush and sleep in the nude.
After getting the rental car and getting to the Hotel we were checking in and right in front of us was our friends from Edmonton that we knew were coming on the tour but didn't know where they were staying or when where they were staying. What a small world!!
After going for supper and back to the hotel for bed at 2:00 AM. Miami time.
