It took 3 days to get home from Oregon after celebrating the holidays with Becky's family. Flying stand-by did indeed turn into an adventure. We had no problems on the way out west, but coming back we ended up spending one whole day in the Salt Lake City airport as plane after plane left without us on it. While in SLC, we ran into friends from Georgia (Jim is Naomi's basketball coach). They were returning from Boise, Idaho where they had gone to watch their son play in a football game. They had 2 other football moms with them, so our group doubled.
Finally we got a plane to Las Vegas, being told that there might be a better chance of getting a seat on a plane there. But again we ended up spending a whole day in an airport. Finally, after midnight, several of our friends caught a flight to Boston and about 1 1/2 hours later we got a flight to Cincinati. From there, we all got flights to Atlanta- after missing a day of work and the first day of the new school semester!
Here are some photos taken late in Salt Lake:

Miserable....We did the standby thing on our honeymoon but it wasn't quite as rough. Glad you're safely home. -rlr
