Strangers on the Plane

I'm in 8A, 8B is empty, 8C strikes a conversation."Where are you from in Haiti?" "How long have you lived in the US?" "How long is your trip?" Simple passenger "get to know". After a few answered questions, 8C feels we're no longer strangers.

"Are you married?"
"Happily."
"To a Haitian man?"
"No."
"Why not?"
...sigh
"Is it strange he doesn't share your culture?"
"Absolutely not."

...minutes pass

"So do you have a number I could reach you at?"
"Absolutely not."

8B is empty.

Delayed

A 9:15 flight has turned into a "God knows when" flight. We've been sitting ducks on the plane for the past hr and half. With tropical storm Emily looming about, hopefully we get to fly today.

SO I've been trying to spend as much time as possible away from the computer, which is the death of me. However, that means I don't keep up with the whole blogging thing either. So I'm going to make a conscious effort to update as much as possible, especially since there's lots going to be going on soon enough. A new baby will be joining our family any second, I'm going back to the motherland in less than a month, and and and.... its still summer.

Some highlights from the days past:
