Well, we made our flight. It was, however, a very close call...On the way to pick up Shaun, my father and I ran into about 40 minutes worth of traffic due to a terrible accident on route 8- there was about 25 minutes when we were not even moving on the highway! Thank goodness for the "Taylor slack time" my dad built into our trip! There was anoter interesting fiasco as well- lets just say Shaun drank an entire water and gatorade bottle, we ran into more traffic, there was talk of peeing into a bottle, and Shaun made record time (waddling like a 90 year-old man) in getting to a bathroom. All that aside, we made our flight and Virgin Atlantic is now our favorite airline.
