so Wayne, what time do you fly tomorrow? DD's flight is at midnight.
she's going to have a nightmare travel day.....first the 13 hours to new york.
Then a 5 hour wait in the airport.
then Delta to minneapolis (3 hours or something like that).
then another 5 hour wait in the airport.
Then delta to alaska (another full 6 hour flight!!)
by the time they get to the airport in alaska they'll have been traveling for 36 hours, not even counting the time to get to the airport here.
she's renting a car in alaska. she's going to be exhausted, so i told her she could get it the next morning if she's too exhausted to drive. Or alternatively, to pay a taxi to drive in front of her and lead her to the hotel. just so that she doesn't have to think about where she's going.
and she's never driven in the US before, so it's going to be a bit of a challenge for her. Not the side of the road - that's the same as here, but the rules are very different. Like making left turns at traffic lights is completely different there. I've explained it, but if she's very tired, it will be difficult.
but it's a small town, so hopefully it will be ok!!
We will be there from opening to about 11.30, so we'll keep a look out for you. We are going to Florida Mall after lunch to look for Stephen an I pad for his birthday. Hopefully, having cs meal at Poly or CR before getting bus from Transportation Centre.
Won't be the same without youat least you have a trip to look forward to now.
Perhaps you should brave another Xmas trip...
A bit wet here again this afternoon but hopefully it will all have cleared for your arrival tomorrow. We check out from OKW tomorrow probably just before you arrive but will still be here until August 1st. Will keep an eye open for you and say 'hi' if we spot you. 
Hope flights and immigration are all good tomorrow.
