Skies, Mountains & Home

We were up at 3:30 AM Sat. to catch the 4:00 AM Super Blue Shuttle (that didn't show up until 5:45 AM) that took us to the Kansas City Airport. We arrived with ONE minute to check in, or have to miss the 6:00 flight and wait for another later on.......... they pushed us on through, so much so that they shoved me on before I could pick up my 2 boarding passes.......... oh brother.... then when we arrived in Dallas, we had 20 minutes to get the the opposite end of the airport to catch the connecting flight. For those of you that have been through the Dallas airport, you'll appreciate the challenge of that feat. When we got to the gate everyone had been loaded and they were about to close up the door. The nice thing about travelling like that is that it makes for a MUCH shorter flying day. No waiting at any airports at all! With the 2 hour time difference, we were in Seattle by 10:00 AM! Sweet!
Here are 2 photos of the sunrise that I snapped in Dallas from inside the plane.....

Darrell -

So glad to read about your safe trip to and from Kansas! Breon and I have been thinking about you, and wondering how you all have been. Glad to hear you're well.

We'll have to catch up sometime, if your schedule permits.

Peace to you and yours,
Michael and Breon Crowley
