Flight Schedule For Boomers Mom :)

[Samantha Puppy]

Tyler has now seen more of the world in his 4 short months of life than I have seen in my 27.5 years on this earth! WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?

Glad the flight got in safely! Hope everything's smooth for the layover and connecting flight to Dayton.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

YIPPIE!!!!! They are in the States!! Welcome to America, little Tyler!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!! Welcome to America, Missy, Tyler, and Carol!!!!! We're praying you all get out of there safely and make your way home to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Boomer will be so excited to see the rest of his family

So far so good. Looks like the flight from Houston is still on schedule for 7:20. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I did just notice though...the flight that was/is 2185 from Mexico to Houston is cancelled but the flight 2185 from Houston to Dayton is on schedule.

[Craftlady]

I noticed that cancelation too. They were saying on CNN that if you didnt have ticket dont go to the airport.

From http://www.continental.com/travel/tc...Operations.asp
Due to approaching Hurricane Rita there is a mandatory evacuation in many areas along the Texas Coast. Departures out of Houston will cease at 1230P/CDT Friday, September 23 due to Hurricane Rita. Currently, all operations out of Houston scheduled for Saturday, September 24, have been cancelled. Resumption of service is tentatively planned for Sunday morning, September 25, pending further review of the weather situation.

Carol called about 4pm EST and said that their flight is still on the schedule. The FAA site says that flights out of Houston are delayed on the runway for 30-44 minutes.

THIS BITES........Hopefully it's because of the delay on runways to take off.

Thanks Becky - you are keeping close tabs.

Carol just called again - it is almost 9pmEST and they are still at the gate and waiting. The agents are telling them that the flight is still scheduled but no delay explanation. The last announcement said they had a plane but it was not at the gate yet - and next estimated take-out is "in about an hour".

She said Tyler is starting to protest loudly But, we feel blessed that everyone is safe with all the threatening weather approaching - I know the airlines are trying to get folks out of there. I keep thinking how glad I am that Missy has Carol with her. Carol sounded so exhausted on the phone.

Still in our prayers ... homeward bound, oh how sweet!

Not quite "On their Way" ... they're "Taxiing Out" towards the runway ...

Cargo Agent just said the puter says Flight 2185 "Pushed Back" from the gate at 8:21 Houston time ...

"Delays on the taxiway are CERTAIN" ...

But the puter still predicts a "normal 10 minute Taxi & Hold time"
with ETA Dayton shown as 12:08 AM (Eastern Time).

He said Houston might take another 30 minutes to actually clear them for take-off.

Next ETA at Dayton won't appear till AFTER they take-off.

[Craftlady]

It's on their way in our eyes because they got out of the freaken airport and on to a plane

[Grace]

The graphic I'm seeing on the Continental site shows that plane on the border of Louisiana and Arkansas!!

I've been a wreck all day watching and waiting for them to get out of Houston.

[Cookiebaker]

they are definitely well on their way now!
