local time: 9:33pm. Feels like 10:33pm since we're used to central time. Been on the road since 11:00am (central) this morning.
Travel itinerary:
Leg 1: drive to Indianapolis airport. In ice storm. 3.5 hrs in car. (Usual drive time is less than 2 hrs). Highlight of leg: There is a brand new airport in Indianapolis, open only 6 weeks. Did not know this until we drove by the old airport exit and found a defunct terminal. New airport an extra 15 minute drive away. Real highlight of leg: new airport is extremely family friendly and passenger service oriented. Plus everyone was helpful and nice; way over and above the norm.
Leg 2: fly from Indianapolis to Denver. Flight delayed about 1.5 hours. Small child held still for about 1.5 minutes on 3 hour flight.
Leg 3: sit in DIA airport waiting for airplane. Attempt to eat dinner in restaurant with VERY tired small child. Upon our arrival in Denver we were greeted with the news that our airplane was in Chicago. After getting to Denver it has to go to Salt Lake City then back to Denver. THEN it can take us to Albuquerque.
Legs 4 and 5 will be the flight to New Mexico then a 30 minute drive. Project time for head to meet pillow? around 3 am central.
Small boy is asleep now, snuggled up with his blankie and toy doggie in his stroller. I'm so wishing the camera was with me.
