Okay so as you know I went on vacation to see my father-in-law. We decided to leave a day early and surprise him so we got plane tickets to fly from Tulsa to Nashville and rent a car and
drive to Smiths Grove, KY. All is good. we leave the house around 0530 Thursday 2 April and head out to the wonderful city of Tulsa Oklahoma. Okay someone forgot to mention that some of the signs as you drive along the turn pike are repeats posted a whopping four feet apart (makes you wonder). We get to the airport, park the truck and check in for our flight now from what I read the airline we are flying on is pretty good at being on time. Our flight actually leaves a little early (there are so many nice people on this plane) we are 15 minutes in the air and we smell something burning, now I didn't see any toaster anywhere and Ben is sound asleep sitting next to me and I'm sure if it's anything to worry about he would say something (at least I hope). The two older ladies behind us are now asking questions to each other about this burning smell all of a sudden the pilot comes over the radio with an announcement that we are turning around and heading back to Tulsa to land because of this burning order that has now filled the entire plane. As w
e make our way to the ground we are met by the fire trucks I guess we had an (IFE) we were held on the runway while the fire department took some infrared device and checked out the plane to make sure there was no fire (thank goodness there wasn't I'm in no shape to jump from a non-moving plane) then they followed us back to the gate where we disembarked. Now we are waiting for another plane which take two hours so these nice people we have come to meet get on the other plane they brought and we head out again this time we make it to the run way to stop and wait our turn, all of a sudden they shut down the engines. We all look at each other and the pilot makes another announcement, we can't take off and head to DFW because of high winds in Texas so we head back to the gate and disembark second time in three hours (we are becoming real good friends with the people on the plane now). Now we were suppose to leave at 0850 but now we are departing at 1415 we get on the plane for the third time and we actually take off to much applause in the plane this time. We arrive at DFW missing both our connecting flights to be put on stand by for the 1803 flight leaving DFW for Nashville we are numbers 17 and 18 on stand by (what are the chances) well as it seems the good lord saw fit for us to get on the first flight out and we arrived safe and sound in Nashville at 2035 picked up the rental care and drove 78 miles north and surprised my father-in-law. We had a very nice visit spend some time with my nieces, great nieces and great nephew. It was a very short trip but well worth the time we got to spend with the family. We left Sunday for our flight back home in hopes that we would not encounter any problems heading home and to our amazement we arrived 20 minutes before our projected time.
