This will be the last entry for this blog. We arrived home this evening about 12 am. Tuesday morning after flying in from Anchorage. We awoke to falling snow which continued through our departure time. With snow covering the plane they had to deice the plane before we could take off. This took well over half an hour causing our take off to be late.
We were soon above the clouds, however, with beautiful blue sky above . The flight was really uneventful and with the clouds finally gone we had a good view of the Canadian mountains and the mosaic snow covered plains below. By the time we arrived in Minneapolis the clouds has settled back in and we were told we were on a holding pattern before we could land. We finally landed 20 minutes late giving us less than a half hour, by the time we got off the plane, to make our connecting flight to Baltimore. The plane we were on was scheduled to go on to Boston. After finally getting off, we inquired as to where our connecting flight was to be and found that instead of going to Boston, the plane we had just left was our flight going on to Baltimore. The passengers going to Boston had to board a different plane. So we just had to wait for them to clean the plane and get back on in our same seats.
By the time we arrived in Baltimore it was dark, but the clouds had lifted giving us a nice view of the lights below. We had trouble figuring out where we were exactly until the lights of Baltimore appeared and we passed over Camden Yards and M&T Bank stadium. We then passed over the harbor. It was nice to see familiar landmarks.
We had a wonderful trip, spent time with wonderful people, saw beautiful birds and eager dogs, but it is nice to be back in our own home.
