From the Helm – Sunday, June 27, 2010

2:20 AM – It’s already been an interesting morning.  I just returned from the airport…  A few minutes after midnight, I got a call from Gary informing me the group was waiting at the airport!  It took me a few minutes to shake the mist from my brain.  I was in a daze. 

In all my years, I don’t recall missing a group by twelve hours.  Turns out, I didn’t miss the group this time either.  These four came in on Delta at 12:30 AM.  The remaining members are scheduled to arrive on TAM at 12:30 PM.  It’s all “12:30”.  But, the “P” and the “A” definitely made this whole deal interesting.  In looking back at my emails, it seems the only schedule I received was for this afternoon’s pick-up on TAM.  Not a problem. All is well.

Gary, Patti, Shanda and Elaine are resting comfortably at the Davinci.  I’ll pick them up this afternoon on the way back from the airport with the remainder of the team.

- I’m a bit pumped to sleep again.  At the moment, a good sit out on the bow with a hot cup of coffee seems in order.  I believe I’ll do just that…
