Beginning of my journey

The first few days have been filled with air travel and bad weather. Charleston, SC to Cincinatti to Charleston, WV plus 9 inches of snow and freezing rain. State SRP went suprisingly smooth thanks to the guys at State HQ. As usual lots of shots before leaving the country - arms are a little sore today. Unfortunately, no z-packs or other antibiotics for my upper chest infection.

Was able to just make it out of Charleston, WV for Indianapolis (by way of Atlanta). All the other flights were being cancelled due to the ice, snow and lack of visibility, but we were able to get out - an hour late so I missed my connection in Atlanta and didn't get into Indy until midnight. If you have ever flown into the airport in Charleston, WV you know how sketchy that mountain top runway is in good weather - now imagine it in the middle of a snowstorm fog bank and ice overtaking everything in sight. You can understand why I was vigorously praying before take-off.

Greeted by another major snow storm once I landed and enjoyed an eventful ride to the hotel - some of it sideways on the road, kind of reminded me of a scene from "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." About a foot of snow on the road so I am stuck in the hotel for two days until my guys can get up to the hotel to pick me up. I already miss the 60 degrees I left in Charleston, SC - not to mention my girls and little man.
