We were told at 3pm that our bags were ready to be picked up
at the airport. So Gene and Adam headed
out after both being refreshed by a shower and afternoon nap. After spending 5 minutes trying to start our super van they figured out the
sticky key and were on their way: little did they know that this was a sign of
things to come. . .
The airport is only 30
minutes from our location so we figured after they returned we would find some
groceries for supper and breakfast the next day. 3 hours later and no sign of them we were
starting to get a little hungry(we hadn’t really eaten anything since 6 am
breakfast on our flight in). When they
finally rolled in at around 6:30 we got the entire story
1.Heavy traffic on the way there due to an accident
2.No parking:then crazy parking circle meant for 20 but
holding 200.
3. Adam ran in and had to be brought back in through some
back door with full security to get to the baggage counter. All bags were
there! They gave him all the bags with no I.D. no questions asked (including
Gene and Corry’s) Yeh!
4. Did not have exact change for parking as they were 2
minutes over the free allotted parking time.
5. When they got to
pay booth realized they had accidently left parking time ticket in machine so
had to run back and forth to pay booth to pay for 2 minutes over.
6. Finally left the airport only to have a FLAT TIRE on the
main highway at rush hour with the sun fading fast.
7. Adam replaced tire with the spare on the side of the
Durban highway.
Yikes! What a day! So we ordered takeout pizza(it was delicious), Corry
and I hitched a ride with our B and B host to the grocery to pick up a few
groceries and a $3 bottle of wine! Hoping this is not a sign of weeks to come.
