Off to Europe

Off to Europe

My husband left again today on yet another business trip, this time he’s off to Europe.  I hope the trip improves because just getting him to the DFW airport today was very stressful.  We left the house 3 hours before his flight to make the 45 minute drive to the airport and it turned into almost an hour and a half.

We got on the I-635 westbound and came to a screeching hault.  It was so bad that people were driving their vehicles over the grass median to get off the highway and on to the side road which was also backed up.  Apparently they had been doing construction earlier in the day taking the normally 5 lanes of westbound traffic down to 2 lanes and it cause everything to come to a halt.  When we finally got just past the last lane closure we saw the workman picking up the cones and then traffic started going smoothly. Unfortunately by then, my husband was stressed about having to check in for an international flight and losing time, so he drove like a madman the rest of the way.

I haven’t heard from him and his flight should have left an hour ago, so I’m assuming that everything worked out just fine and hope he has a good trip.  We’ll see him next Saturday when we repeat the drive to the airport, I think I’ll take a different route!
