Mississippi

Well we are home from our trip to Greenville MS. We started out good but by the end of the flight on Wednesday I don't think any of us are going to fly for awhile.

The Story
Our shuttle from the hotel to DIA was at 4am Wednesday. Flight from DIA to Houston was at 6am. All 14 of us got our bags and car seats checked in and made it though security fine. Our flight from DIA to Houston was fine other then the landing. It was so foggy in Houston you couldn't even tell the plane had landed. I thought we were still in the air and had hit something. Anyway because of the fog flights were canceled, ours was one of them. They said the next flight to Jackson MS had two seats. And there was 14 of us. So we asked when the next flight to Jackson MA it was on FIRDAY. OH GREAT. So then we had them look in to Little Rock AR. They had a flight but didn't leave until 1:45pm. So we went to grab some lunch and then headed to the gate. We ended up leaving Houston at 2:30. We got to Little Rock AR and had no luggage and no car seats. Our car rentals and luggage and car seats were in Jackson MS. So we tried to get car rentals from Little Rock but it was going to cost an arm and a leg for them because we were going to have to leave them in Jackson MS then we fly out on Sunday. So thought way don't we try to get our flights changed on Sunday to Little Rock and then get our luggage shipped to us overnight. Well NO flight from Little Rock on Sunday. So plan 16 (felt like it). Call dad and Stacy and had them come and get us and the boys would go to Jackson on Thursday to get the cars and luggage and car seats. Well that is what we did and we finally made it to this amazing lodge at 1am Thursday morning. We had a great time other then flight stuff. Kids did great other then lack of SLEEP. I think we all had that even dad and Stacy. Well, Dad and Stacy are on a short honeymoon and will be home the first part of April. For the family we are going to probably have a family get together for them then they get home. But will call to let everyone know.
Our fight home was OK other then the pilot had to go for a second try at landing in Houston because of FOG. So that made us about 45 minute late so had to RUN to our next gate for our flight to Denver. But we made it and so did our luggage and car seats.
