Busy-ness

I seem to be on a posting schedule of about once a week here, so in the best tradition of infrequently updated blogs, let's do the Week In Review:

This week, I..

• ..went to Miami on Sunday evening, didn't get there until 11:30pm, and got to see absolutely none of the city except for that part of it between the airport and Coral Gables. Which, just sayin', isn't much.
• ..went to Troy, MI on Tuesday. Flying into Detroit was interesting. Now that I'm an American Airlines flyer, we get to fly into the "old" terminal at Detroit (also known as the Aviation Ghetto, apparently.) Wow. Someone described it as "retro." They were being generous.
• ..drove from Troy to Grand Rapids on Wednesday. Dear Western Michiganers: Why do you insist on putting "Gd Rapids" on all of the expressway signs? Is it really that difficult to spell "Grand?" I mean, really; budgets are tight and all that, but three letters per sign can't be that much.
• ..flew back from Gd Grand Rapids to Chicago on Thursday. The airport there is pretty nice, comfortable and certainly not busy. The flight was interesting because of chaos caused when one of the luggage conveyor trucks at O'Hare ran into the E-145 that American Eagle was flying into GRR, thus causing one full flight to be canceled. Not many rebooking options exist from GRR-ORD, unfortunately. I feel sorry for the gate agents at GRR that had to work that flight!

Next week brings Houston and Dallas. Then, believe it or not, I'm back here for about a week and a half, so I might actually be able to get used to sleeping in my own bed again!
