Another airline problem - again!

Well that last post obviously didn't work. That stinks. Will have to try that again soon 'cause it was so cool!

So my mother in law is here. For some that would be a bummer, but for me, LOVE it! She's just so easy going and really is so good with the kids. She'll do anything the kids want including playing make believe games for...forever! I swear the last time she was here, my older daughter had her playing fairy make believe for three hours non-stop. I can maybe last 30 minutes. She is the energizer bunny of grandmothers. And she'll wash dishes AND get up early with the kids AND buy dinner too.

She had some trouble getting in on the airlines with her flight being cancelled. She had to go to a different airport altogether. It made us have to change our plans to pick her up and drive an extra two hours to pick her up. Of course it wasn't a big deal...we would have driven further to get her, but it just goes to show how unreliable airlines are becomming. I think this is how the airlines are going. I think its going to get to the point when we expect the flights be cancelled and when everything is smooth it will be a minor miracle. It's so annoying. We spend hours planning and making arrangements for our trips and then WHAM...it never seems to go right. I'm afraid we're going to get to a point when we have to build a day onto either end of a trip for the airlines screwups. It will end up costing more...messing up vacations non stop. It's so frustrating.
