We boarded our flight and waited for the passenger who had the window seat. Finally they closed the boarding door and we realized that we had an empty seat next to us. I fly 50 times a year and I've only had one empty seat next to me all year. When we left Detroit on the way to Indy we had another empty seat next to us. Go figure!
Empty seats on both legs of our trip.
We arrived in Lafayette at 6:30 pm to definitely non-winter weather. The grass was green and the temperature was about 45 degrees.
Kyle and Kevin flew in on Wednesday. Kyle's flight was an hour late from Chicago due to a tire change. I drove down to Indy and picked him up. It rained the entire way and on the north side of Indy it was raining so hard that traffic had slowed to about 30 mph.
We drove home and arrive around 6:30. We missed the Christmas eve-eve Chinese dinner but our Panda Express was waiting for us. At 10 pm Kyle and I were back in the car headed back to the Indianapolis airport to pick up Kevin. His flight was a little early and we picked him up at the curb and headed for the Waffle House.
In 2011 when we had Christmas in Indiana we arrived around 11 pm and after checking into our hotel Kyle, Kevin, and I walked from our hotel to the Waffle House for an early breakfast.
