What's up? Well, since I've written on here from the Ramada Inn, I have had several "incidents" in the U.S. of A....

After our flight was cancelled 5 times over the course of 3 days (where we had to stay in the Ramada, NO form of entertainment nearby), and we were stuck in a traffic jam for 13 HOURS on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.  That is just an overview of what happened.   My feelings of frustration and irritation and impatience have since worn off, since I've been in Greenfield for the past 4 days. 

That's right, after we found out our flight was cancelled for the 5th time in a row, we started checking out other options to get us back to Ohio.  Dad called me from the Madhouse of JFK airport & asked me to look online for the cost of Rental cars.  Thanks to Father's providence, we were able to land an 06 Dodge Stratus for $200 for a whole day! Sweet! So we were proud of our good deal and plan to get out of New York before the weekend rush (the next flight we could've taken would have been the following Monday- 3 days later!).  We set out and made it all the way through New York City, and through the upper part of New Jersey, and some of Pennsylvania when we hit what seemed like a small traffic jam because of the snow....No big deal.  I get out my book and Sudoku game which Dad and Emily played, and that was at 3:30 pm.  Well, at 5:30 when the sun went down, we started to get a little restless and worried that something was seriously wrong.  We ended up moving 5 miles in 5 hours.  At 9:30. Dad called his friend back home to see about an alternative route home.  No such luck.  We had only passed one exit in the past 5-7 hours, so all we could do was wait it out....

Finally, we realized we needed to turn the car off to save energy.  It was cold.  We decided it would be safe to turn the car on every half hour to get warm....Well after peeing outside 1 time (3 times between the 3 of us), at 3:30 AM, THE CARS STARTED MOVING! A couple hours later the sun rose and we were still in Pennsylvania. 

There's prob more to the story, but the bottom line is- we made it out ALIVE! Oh praise Him.  I've been enjoying my time at home, starting to get comfortable here. Don't wanna get too comfortable before I have to leave.  I'm lovin' spending time with friends & playin' late nights of Sequence & Phase 10, and shopping with Mom and Emily, and getting pulled over without a lisensce or insurance, but I'll save that for another blog day.
