Thank you all for your kind messages. My mother-in-law is doing extremely well. (Almost too well, she wanted to skip rehab and just go home ) We had good flights up to Islip. Nashville to Atlanta to Islip (and reverse). My youngest even charmed the very nice FA on our regional jet to Islip. He came away wih about a dozen snack packs. Enough to hold him. Hey, 10 yr old boys get HUNGRY We were able to have a nice party for my father-in-law's 80th birthday. A nice private activities room.
Trip Report: The flight back from Islip to Atlanta wasn't as nice. We had bulkhead seats which was good. Slightly more leg room. The FA did one thing that really irritates me. She had filled both sides of the overhead compartments with her personal items Instead of pushing my way down the aisle I sat to wait for the other passengers to board, planning to then stow my carryon bag. Well, the FA started lecturing me on putting my things away. During the flight the usual announcement about connecting information being announced before arrival in Atlanta. We waited. No Announcement. My husband asked when she was going to give the information. He was told that she had personally gone down the aisle and relayed the information to people. Why she didn't ask us I don't know. It must have been done very quietly since neither he nor I heard it (we both had aisle seats). She was unable to give us our connecting information because she threw it away. I'm glad to be home, cleaning up at the end of the school year, and preparing for our vacation. LONDON! PARIS! And one of my favorites...BRUSSELS!
