Lincoln, Rhode Island

I am staying at the Marriott, which is just down the road from Woonsocket. Yesterday was a bit trying, lineups everywhere I went. I thought that at 6:00 am on a Sunday, the airport would be empty, not so, there are a LOT of people traveling then. The flight to Toronto was late leaving, but on time boarding, so lots of time sitting in the non moving plane, but still arrived on time, which was great, since I was in a middle seat. Luckily my plane narcolepsy kicked in, and slept most of the way. When I arrived at the transfer belt for luggage, waited for two hours, still no luggage. The Air Canada people were nice about it, and escorted me to the US customs line, so I could bump the other people in line and go through quickly, but there were no other people on line, so I did not get any dirty looks. The homeland security guy, was also very nice, and I got through there in record time, and had no problem making my flight. My luggage is still MIA, but should be here today, if not then I am going shopping!! And you know how I love that, and it will be on Amex, because if you travel and put your ticket on an Amex card, and it is lost, they reimburse you if you need to buy things.

But enough of that. When we were landing in Providence the sun was just starting to set, and I had a great view of the city, the trees here are just starting to change, so there was lots of green, interspersed with some beautiful red and gold. I was thinking of Mom and Anne, because those colours would have been all over Nova Scotia too, in the last week. It is a beautiful sunny day today, and I am looking forward to spending the weekend here, just have to get that work stuff over with!!
