We’re about ready to leave our Florida home to fly to Michigan but still don’t know when we’ll fly out.

We have been told that our truck will be picked up Wednesday (the 9th) so hopefully, we will be at our home up north by the 11th so we can check it over when it’s delivered.

I don’t know when they’ll fly us out. I’ve been looking at flights to see if there are any from TPA to MBS. There are, but the price tags are unbelievably high. Most are over $1,000 for the two of us. Glad they’ll pick up the tab.

Yesterday I booked our return to Florida flights for October 9th.

United Airlines UA 5044
Lv 10:30 am
Saginaw, MI, US (MBS)

Ar 10:45 am
Chicago, IL, US (ORD – O’Hare)
Duration: 1h 15m

3h 30m Layover (We’ll have ample time for a nice lunch.)

=========================================================

Second Lap Flight from Chicago to Tri-City

United Airlines UA 397
Lv 2:15 pm
Chicago, IL, US (ORD – O’Hare)

Ar 5:54 pm
Tampa, FL, US (TPA)

The total price for our two one-way tickets was about $440.

I also made sure that the airlines are aware that John will need to have a wheelchair escort and he’ll be using oxygen. The seats for our longest flight (from Chicago to Tampa) will be in the first row of the economy section. That’ll be perfect for John with his long legs. The seats will be easier for him to access because they’ll be closer to the entry door.

Buying these tickets has assured that we don’t have to worry about going back in October, that is if we ever get home.
