THEY'VE LANDED AND WE MOVED!

Hello,

What a day!  Last night we followed Eric and Darlene's flight on flight tracker.  They were flying from Chicago to JFK and then on to Barcelona.  About 11:30 pm Gary said "Oh, they've landed at JFK..."  and then about a minute later he said, "Oh, the tracker says their plane has been diverted to another airport...Buffalo"  Needless to say, we were concerned and perplexed at the same time.

About 30 minutes later they emailed us that they had to make an emergency landing in Buffalo as a woman was sick on the flight--in fact they hadn't landed at JFK.  Their emails were vague and we finally talked briefly by phone.  Eric, a registered nurse with a lot of acute care experience, had saved a woman's life on the plane and they had to get her on the ground quickly.  He started an IV, etc., and stayed in the aisle with her during what they called "The fastest and steepest" descent they've ever experienced.  And...the woman's daughter fainted during all of this.  Everyone on the plane called him a hero and we're hoping the woman and her daughter are recovering.

They were rerouted from Buffalo to London and then on to Barcelona.  They arrived 5 hours late and then took a nap at the Hotel Musik.  Gary went to get them at the airport and I moved our "stuff" to the new flat.

Thanks to our friends for moving us!  Once we were moved in we got them from the hotel and they had a lovely first evening in Barcelona!

Hope this finds you all well and warm,

Love and hugs,

Ellie and Gary

BELOW:  Moving from the old flat (all packed up), our friend Arora had a car that came in so handy!  Just one trip in her car and one taxi and we were moved!

BELOW:  We took a walk from the new flat to our old barrio and saw this awesome new gate art.  We're guessing it's a new music business....
