Speechless Sunday: And Lots of Penguins on Your Christmas Tree

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

We saw this delightful tree at the children's Discovery Museum, yesterday morning, prior to heading home to sunny California...Sadly we had weather issues as our flight was coming in from Chicago, where winter storms were causing havoc. 

After waiting for 2+ hours, we finally boarded our flight to Houston not knowing if we were going to catch the LA connector, and we did not.  We opted to head to Oakland rather than spend the night in Houston, where weather was a possibility for the next day...and then catch the shuttle to LA....yes we missed that one also, because tons of luggage was being transferred.

Southwest was amazing, they gave us a very nice room at the Hilton nearby, and the staff here was as good as any luxury hotel we have stayed at.  This morning, we are heading out on the first flight to Los Angeles.

We are looking forward to being home in a few hours and enjoying a relaxing Sunday.

Wishing you all a great Sunday, A

Alexandra & Ron,

Having had my humble beginnings in Chicago, I can empathize with your experience at O'Hare or Midway Airport. Those penguins are cute and can easily warm your heart when the weather is frightful and flights delayed. Be safe and enjoy the season. You always look to the good and this tree is just another signature of who you are!

I'm betting that tree prompts many big smiles - very cute.  It sounds as if you had an adventure in winter travel - "Trains, planes and automobles." Lol.

Sorry to hear you've had such a challenging time getting home without the weather.  As usual you make the best of things and see the fun in everything around you.  What an adorable tree. Kids faces must light up in smiles (big kids too). Enjoy being home - soon!

Ron & Alexandra, You have just described why I do not enjoy air travel.  The blessing is that you will arrive home safely.  Clearly you made the best of your delays and enjoyed the journey.

There is something about those little black and white beings that enchant me. . .It all began a few years ago, while watching, "March of the Penguins."

Hi! Happened to be in Chicago during the time of the snow. One of our homes is just north of O'Hare Airport. Saw on the news that there were over 200 cancellations plus delays. Still seems that you had a nice time - the Hilton Hotel stay and time you took to take the penguin Christmas tree. Have a great week.

Ron and Alexandra, I love Southwest Airlines.  They really are into making their flights a good customer experince - even it the food and seat sizes aren't what they used to be.

Ron and Alexandra, the weather can easily be a spoiler factor in the winter time.  Cute idea for a Christmas tree!
