Matt was supposed to be home last night from his 15 day trip to the states but when he called me yesterday in the early afternoon, I knew something was wrong, because either he was calling from way up in the sky or he wasn’t up in the sky.. Evidently, it was Memorial Day yesterday and it took him 3 hours to get from the Valley to the LAX airport..He also had trouble finding the rental car place to return the car and once he found it, he missed the turn and had to go all around the airport again which took another hour.

Those of you who know Matt, know he is very exaggerated when it comes to getting to the airport on time, leaving almost 4 to to 5 hours earlier to make sure there are no problems.. but I guess like my dad said “nowadays you must leave half a day early to the airport to make your flight!!”. Lesson learnt.. He had to live in the airport for almost a day sort of like the Tom Hanks character and then wait until 12 noon for the counter to open and pray they wouldn’t have to make him buy another plane ticket which would have been $1,600..

He hasn’t called me yet today so I’m assuming he is up in the sky and should get home sometime tonight..
