Here's Scott at Thanksgiving. We just found out he's Afghanistan bound. OK. This is not a very good picture, but I'm not a very good photographer.My nephew Scott is in the Air Force. Ever since he joined, I've been afraid he'll be deployed. So far, he's been lucky, having been stationed in Iceland, England and now down in Valdosta.
But on Feb. 1, he's going to Afghanistan. Being a helicopter mechanic, I knew that would happen one day.
Dorothy's travel saga continues.
She was supposed to be in Djibouti Saturday, but she missed her flight. Even though she got to Heathrow two hours later, she was, of course, unfamiliar with the airport.
Dorothy had left her huge piece of luggage in storage at the airport. She didn't realize that the terminal she was to leave from was way far away. It took her an hour to get her bag, get on a train and go to the correct terminal.
Once she got there, she said signage was bad. Dorothy couldn't find Ethiopian Air and none of the airport employees could tell her where the departure gate was. So she missed her flight by five minutes.
Dorothy called it her doofus moment. Then yesterday's flight was canceled. She was supposed to leave tonight.
I haven't heard from her, so we don't know if she's in Africa yet.
The Okamoto family will be praying that Dorothy and Scott will be safe for the next year. And that neither will cause an international incident!
