A Trip That Didn't Happen

I've been on vacation all week because of UEA .We had planned a trip to Cleveland Ohio to visit Cheri's sister Jenean because she has been really sick. She has had gallstones and one went down into her pancreas. She spent 7 weeks in the hospital and now is home but with IV's and drain tubes still in. Cheri's mother has been there since the end of August to take care of her. We fly stand-by since I work for the airlines. Yesterday we listed for the morning flight to Cleveland but because everyone else had a long weekend, the flight was full and we didn't get on. All of the other flights through Atlanta and Cincinnati were also full so we decided to just stay home. We called Holli and went up to Logan to pick her up from school and bring her home. She was planning to come home with a friend anyway but was able to come home much earlier. Now we are all home together for four fun filled days. We were very disappointed that we couldn't go anywhere on an airplane to visit Cheri's family, but we will have fun just staying put. Flying stand-by you have to be really flexible but this is the first trip we have had to cancel.
