The airplane ride

Despite her illness, mom did just fine with the plane ride. At one point she turned to me and said, "it's one thing to barf in the bag but its a whole other thing to crap your pants on the airplane."

I nearly snorted ginger ale out of my nose at that one....

We made it in one piece all the same, landing in miami at 10 pm. We caught the shuttle to the Best Western (which for the record is longer than the advertised 5 minutes from the airport) and settled into our suite (a queen bed and hide-a-bed). We braved the streets of miami at midnight to grab a quick bite at a nearby restaurant. After some bruschetta for me and mary and bread for mom, we walked back to the hotel to call it a night.

It took all 3 of us to pry the bed from the couch and we had to prop up the bottom with a couch pillow to make it level but we are tucked in now. Planning to get a good night sleep tonight....
