Off to the Airport

After saying goodbye to Stanley and Christine, Jeannette's children, Jeannette and I were driven by her other son David to the airport. We left over 3 hours early, but ran into a huge traffic jam on the Hutchinson River Parkway in the Bronx. The road was totally stopped. We listened to the radio and immediately heard that there was a major accident on the Whitestone. We were right near an exit so we took it and through the use of GPS we navigated our way to the Throggs Neck Bridge and then from there to Kennedy airport. I believe that if we had not made the maneuver we would have missed the flight. Thanks to David for being such a great driver and for keeping his cool. Here is a picture of him hugging his Mom goodbye. The flight to Germany was on Singapore Air and it was very comfortable for Jeannette and me being in business class. We had a great meal and we were able to stretch out and rest. Thanks again to everyone who contributed for her business class ticket. We arrived at the airport and we were met by Sabin, from a taxi service hired by the clinic. She took us to Frankfurt University Hospital.

  1. Alan, Good that you had a nice flight. Are you in the hospital too? I hope you are having a good night sleep. You are so good taking care of Jeannette for all of us. Thanks.
