That was a record time for flying to New York from Palm Beach!
Sadly, my brother, his wife, and his adorable dachshund, Lulu, who I adore, had to return home after 21 days in Florida. I miss them so much.
I use FlightAware to track flights, departure and arrival times, etc. It keeps my mind at ease.
My brother texted me when he landed. I wrote back that I knew.
Fortunately, he'll return February 3! I'll track that, too.

I'm glad that they arrived home safely, now you and your hubs can spend some quality time before your son and his family arrive-that will be a busy time!
I'll have to use that website to track our son's flight, he flies out just after 10pm tonight. And you know, he's got a purpose behind this trip.

@DianneN They fly back into Toronto around 8pm on a Sunday night. Knowing that Dad and I won't go up there during the week, we don't have the time with working, he asked us to drop her off during the day on that Sunday, so that she's waiting for him there. Her sister has a key to their home, so if anything happens she'll be able to care for Ellie.

Wishing him a safe flight and a fun time. I am sure he will miss Ellie so much. My son's miss their pets when they travel, just as we used to miss ours. Our son is not coming here, unfortunately. We booked a hotel as close to the ice skating arena as we could get. We will only see them up in Orlando between practices and events and for meals. To me, it's better than nothing.

@Juliaacv I hope you do it late enough to feed and walk her, unless her sister will. That's great that her sister has a key, especially if they get delayed. They will have to get their baggage and go through customs, too, you know. That takes time, so keep that in mind, plus the ride home from the airport. Are you tracking their flight?

Wow that was a quick flight. I wish I could see my brother while I am down here but he lives outside Atlanta and his wife still works.

I use the same thing DianneN in fact when the chairmen came to apologise for the late arrival of our flight back to the UK and told us it would not be that long to wait now. I pointed out to him that it had not even reached Canada yet so it was going to be at least another couple of hours! He remarked it was charming the passengers knew more about his flight than the Chairman. He gave us free return tickets to New York which we are going to use at Easter!

I understand that feeling. I myself have loved ones from miles away and I so miss them.
