Partially my fault, for plugging the battery into the recharger the previous night. One day luisa took the camera but left the battery.

So I think it was a good thing he didn't go SCUBA diving, since that involves a lot of pressure-equalizing by plugging your nose and blowing to get air inside your ears. We had about 45 minutes to make our connecting flight in Charlotte, so we were pretty stressed when the plane left New Orleans 45 minutes late. We were not all sitting together. Ronnie and I were near the front. So we decided that when we got to Charlotte, I would sprint for the gate and make sure thy waited for the rest of the family. I thought I was making good time, but Luisa, Michael and Ronnie were only about 3 minutes behind me. They got us onto the plane, and said they would be closing the doors right after us. This concerned me because we had luggage coming! Well, we ended up sitting at Charlotte for about ½ hour as well. We were blissfully blasé, since we had no more connections. Luisa indicated that she and Michael had actually watched out the window as some of our luggage made it onto the plane, so that helped us relax as well. I have to mention that long-term parking at Buffalo airport is pretty good. It's something like $8 per day for the slightly higher-priced lot that is within walking distance of the terminal. I had no problem walking back and forth to the car when we left, and it was pretty quick finding the car when we got back. The border crossing was funny. We were preparing all the way there in the less-than-10-minute lineup. The line was extremely long, but we picked the right-hand lane which moved much better than the left-hand one, and were through in really good time. We had memorized how much money we spent, on what, etc., but when we got there he just asked us where we had been and what citizenship we were and then waved us through. No wonder the lines were moving so quickly! Michael’s sickness on the plane was, I think, pressure sickness.
