Updates on the Christmas travelers

So Jake/Mel/Rach/Tommy are here. Their adventures:
1) the ticket was in the name of Melanie Herway and her passport is still Melanie Grossen. Had to call a neighbor (Luckily he was home!) who got their spare key and brought their marriage license...in time no less. That did the trick there BUT
2) They sat in Charlotte for 2 hours on the tarmac because of fog, luckily their layover in Dulles was 3 hours, so they made their connecting flight BUT
3) Their bags DID NOT make it. Not even one. So Tommy and Rach opened Christmas presents early and found pajama's and Mel and Jake are in borrowed clothes while they wash theirs and hope like anything that their bags come in tomorrow STILL
4) They did arrive 1/2 hour earlier than scheduled, which beats Steve who arrived 25 and 1/2 hours later than scheduled....not as bad as it sounds though because he just traveled a day later because he FORGOT his passport the first time at the airport.
NEXT is Seth and Heidi who have to travel from Salt Lake City to Chicago to London to Brussels. If Seth and Heidi are the dominant travelers, then they will have no adventures to report. Let's hope for that!
