Our travel day to the NYC area didn't go as planned but we made it. The weather on the coast delayed flights so after being shuffled from flight to flight, American Airlines came through again and got us on a flight to reach our destination. We were quite a sight in the airport as I pulled Gary's bike through security and down to the gate, then to the next gate, on to the newly assigned gate, etc.
After getting our luggage in Newark we walked outside and were greeted to a very welcome sight. There was a brightly painted "Hope For The Warrior's" van and soon the driver was out helping us with our bags and gear. This wasn't any driver, however. It was NYFD firefighter and Marine Chris Ford. He volunteers for Hope For The Warriors and Wounded Warrior Project and had been following our flight delays and cancellations and airport changes all day but was still there to pick us up when we arrived. It was great to meet him and we hope to stay in touch. Thanks, Chris, for all your help.
Today we plan on doing the tourist thing in NYC. Hopefully this rain will only be scattered showers but we're equipped with rain jackets and a short stay in the area so we'll going anyway. Thanks for checking in.
