Have been checking in regularly with Mom (Orleans Parish), Daniell & Gerard (St. Bernard) and Jen and Richard (St. Tammany) as well as scouring the web for info on when people can return to the various parishes. I called United today, and Ahmed said that flights were good to go for Louis Armstrong International Airport on Monday, and the airport website reports that flights will resume tomorrow. So, yay!
Just not exactly sure where we will be staying. Mom says they are staying in Atlanta for at least another five days to two weeks, depending on when the power is up and running. Several people in her party are elderly, and they can’t be camping for two weeks. My sister has a brood of children that would turn into an angry mob without facilities. And, because the phone service sucks, I haven’t been able to get in touch with Jen & Richard.
I’m not panicing yet. I know that Chris Rose is still in the city, and I know where he lives, so maybe writer to writer he’ll give me and my husband a place to stay.

I told you…even if we aren’t back Blake can give you a key to the house…you just won’t have any power. You will have a bed though.
