It's been a long week of travel. I started in St. Louis and then went to Milwaukee. I wanted to fly from Kansas City to St. Louis, then on to Milwaukee and back to Kansas City. The price tag was a little high..around $800. If I drove to St. Louis and took a round trip flight from there, it was only around $300. That's what I did. But I was worried about finding the long term parking in St. Louis and how long it would take to get from the nursing home to the airport, so I went early on Monday. I drove to the nursing home, and then went to the airport to check out the route and time. Monday was rainy in St. Louis at 4:30 and I couldn't believe how DARK it was. But I got it figured out. Timing and exits and found the parking lot. I left the facility about 3:45 on Tuesday evening and made it with time to spare at the airport to catch my 5:40 flight to Milwaukee.
I have learned to crochet in airports and on airplanes. I discovered that you could actually take crochet hooks and little scissors through security last winter when I took a crochet class and our instructor said she always crocheted on flights. I just never had tried because it seemed complicated to keep the yarn sorted out and manage to contain the product being crocheted. Anyway, it was the only time it set aside to read. Last week I forgot my book and decided to crochet on the way to Garden City. I worked okay and as I have a lot of crafts scheduled for completion before Christmas, was a very good use of time. I had crochet time at the St. Louis airport. I arrived safely in Milwaukee with several little granny squares competed!!
The problem was finding the hotel. I had been here before and thought I would be able to drive right to the hotel. That was not the case. After driving down wrong streets for a while, I went back to the airport and started over with better results. Why does it get dark so early?
