Baby's Last Trip

Baby and I took our last plane ride pre-delivery this week. We went to Baltimore MD for a few days. The trip there was ok. One of the airline employees was really rude to me (she asked if I was ok with an exit row and I mentioned I was pregnant and she snarfed at me that 'you have to be able to lift 40 pounds. I could lift 40 pounds when I was pregnant...' in a nasty tone) and then I gave her a look which helped her find me a seat in a non-exit row.

The hotel was nice this year and the conference went ok. The planning for it was a mess so my booth, which should have been ready Thursday at 3 p.m. wasn't set up until Friday at 8 a.m. Oh well.

On the way back we had even more airline excitement. My flight was supposed to go from Baltimore to JFK in NYC to Columbus. Well, the flight from JFK to Columbus was cancelled so the airline people rerouted me in the stupidest way. They had me flying from Baltimore to JFK. Then my flight out from LAGUARDIA to Columbus left 3 hours later. And I was going to have to take the train or a cab from JFK to Laguardia (which are 'only' about 2 hours apart by train) but they didn't have a handle on how this would work, so I am guessing I would have made my own way? I kept insisting that they could route me with a layover in another airport but it took about 20 minutes before they were able to put me on a flight from Baltimore to Atlanta, 1 hour layover, then fly to Columbus. We even managed to get here about 10 minutes early. Total craziness though when they couldn't get my flight fixed without sending me all over the city of New York.

So overall the trip was not well planned but baby and I are home safe and sound. I think baby is glad that we are because I was getting some kicking action every time the air pressure changed slightly during take-off and landing!
