Roxy I know just how you feel about the airport. Patrick was gone for 2 days visiting girlfriends in North Texas before having to go to George Bush Airport.
I called him and said, 'You know we have to be at the airport at such and such time????" He said, yeah, and I'll be back in time to go. Just in time. I told him, "you are not allowing for ANY problems with traffic, car trouble, etc. This is not cool" Your choices to pick a lane at the airport are ABCDEF or something like that and Continental has B and C. We didn't know which, and I always call first to find out. But not him. Yeah, I picked the wrong one and had to circle around. It was tense, but I emphasized, "see, thats why you have to allow extra time for mom to get lost."

Molly, I don't think Patrick saw him, but he said he will keep an eye out for him and Robert as well. He was on watch when they handed him Tucker's white card, so he will look for his name. (don't ask me, I don't know what it means either) He is worried he won't know Robert because CS's don't usually wear their name on their uniform he says. So Rozy, you may have to tell him to find Patrick to get that phone to call mom!

You are welcome, I've sent him an e-mail on FB with ya'll precious cargo's last names and hope they hook up. Gotta get a call to mom! I know you are anxious.

Tell them both to find Patrick, he just got a phone with unlimited calling to the US, so he said he would let them use his phone to call home. I remember Tucker's last name, but I'll have to go back to my msgs to find Roberts. He said just tell him their last names, LOL! Its been awesome to talk. Before, we had to hurry and say what was important and get off and it felt hurried. now we can just chat and talk and even have a little silence and enjoy it!
