The "Arrival Times" are questionable at best ...
The Continental "internal" puters (that the Passenger Reps can see)
give the following "true" times >>>
9:12 pm was the "Push-Back & Taxi Out" time
9:48 was the "Wheels Up" time at actual take-off ...
Boomer apparently "sat"on the taxiway holdng for a take-off slot.
The Continental "SCHEDULED" flight time is 1:45 ...
but opinions differ on if that does or does not
"include departure and landing TAXI times" ----
Continental is currently estimating "arrival" at 11:11 ...
hard to say if that's "touch-down" time or
actual arrival AT the GATE.
:confused:
Last Gal I talked to said ALL the "flight tracker web sites" -
including Continental's FlightView -
have that manditory 20 minute FAA delay.
So Boomer "otta" be on the ground sometime between
11:11 and maybe 11:30 ... give or take.
:rolleyes:
:p
Oh great.. a few more minutes to wait LOL
I read earlier on that cargo closed at 11:00p.m.
Will that hold up getting Boomer tonight?

:p

7,600' ....

:rolleyes:
It's down to 4000Quote:

Can't wait to hear from grandmeowmie for an uppiedate.
Yay!!!! Welcome to Ohio Boomer!!
We got to the cargo place - I think about 10:50. The guys said 753 was due in at 11:11....but within a few minutes they said he was already down and the cargo man went right out to pick him up instead of waiting to have him brought over. Said he would be back in about 20-25 minutes.
While we were waiting - phone rang and it was for me :D Phred!
While I was talking to him....here comes Boomer!!!

He had big ole saucer eyes and was looking out at us - dad took his pic...

Signed paperwork and went out to the car. He had peed in there but did not seem like very much and he does not need a bath or anything. I sat in back and let him out, took his collar off - and he then climbed back into the carrier for the ride so I just left my hand at the door and he sniffed it now and then. Oh and I took out all the paper out, and cleaned the carrier out really well while he was on the seat next to me. Not a peep out of him all the way home!!
Brought the carrier in and set it in his new room and opened the door. He came right out - sniffed the litterbox and then under the bed. About 2-3 minutes later he came out to sniff a bit and then hid under the pak -n play. We left a small lamp on and left him alone in there. There is food and water for him. He seems just fine - we will let him hide as he wants. He was in the crate for 32 hours but it is all behind him now!!!:D
This was the scene right outside his door!
