Greetings, from the sprawling metropolis of Dayton, Ohio. That’s right, we’re on the road!

We have rolled into Dayton in advance of the Erma Bombeck Humor Writers’s Workshop, which actually runs this weekend. But having missed several portions of other conferences in the past due to flight problems, we now opt to arrive well in advance.

And, we almost had a little April Fools’ Day joke played on us, but it wouldn’t have been so funny.

Yesterday, we decided to do an early web check-in for our flight, then head off to the airport. Once we arrived, we decided to grab a little lunch before boarding. Well, we got to the ticket counter, and the twit…ummm…service rep from the airline said that we were late, and the flight was closed. NO amount of begging and pleading was about to change her mind, even though we showed on the computer as having already checked in.

She did suggest trying another airline, and that was when we met a customer service champion, who not only got us onto a flight leaving in less than two hours from the one we were supposed to be on, but also made the purchase price disappear, swapping out our old tickets. We got really lucky…

So, long story short, we landed in Dayton just around 11:30 PM last night, but here nonetheless. Happy campers!

So, today we plan to get out and do some sight-seeing, such as it is in Dayton Ohio.

Chow for now!!
