I am still here. Great. I will write another message.

So now it was about 4:00 PM and it was time for me to go as I had to catch a plane back to Boston at I think like 6:30 PM or 7:00PM or maybe it was 7:30PM, I cn't quite remember, but you have to get to the airport 1 1/2 to 2 hours ahead of time to check your baggage and check in. So Mabels and her son and his girlfriend walked with me into the mall and into the elevator that takes you down into the subway that takes you to the airport. When we got down to the subway, I tried to pay to go west to the airport, but the subway attendant told me that there were no trains going west that day because of repairs or construction or something so I started to kind of freak because I hadn't known about this and therefore now needed to figure aout a way to get to the airport. The subway people told me that there were shuttle buses going to the airport that day and where to find them but I was still freaking out because I was not familiar with Cleveland and had no idea where the stops were. This is where I was so glad that I had Mabels and her son and his girlfriend with me because they knew where the bus stop was. Thank goodness! I would never have been able to do it without them! They walked with me to the bus stop and waited with me there until an airport bus showed up. I was so thankful that they were there with me! Anyway, they helped me and my luggage get onto the right bus. It was once again so sad as we hugged and waved goodbye as I rode away on the bus. I was sorry to be leaving Cleveland and the fun weekend that we all had.

Let me press enter again before the computer kicks me out.

Hey, I am still here. I didn't get kicked out. Okay, I will attempt another chapter.

So you think that everything would be all right as little Nan gets on the bus to the airport, right? Well, along the way, the bus driver kind of got lost as it was her first day on the job. What are the odds? So here I am once again thinking that I will not get to the airport on time. The driver got lost a few times and had to call in for directions to some of the stops. We must have had about 12 stops before we finally got to the airport.

On the way to the airport, I passed a few interesting things. I passed a bar named Danny's Bar. Then I think that I passed a market a few blocks down named Cartwright's Market. What are the odds of that? I think that was out by 187th Street if I remember correctly. The streets are numbered from one to I don't know how many out from the middle of Cleveland, so you can imagine that it was quite a ways to the airport if I was out 187 streets from the center of Cleveland when I was in the hotel. Anyway, I noticed that the landscape of Cleveland felt somehow different than my native New England, but I couldn't put my finger on it until I was part of the way to the airport.

I have to go right now but will try, try to get back soon. Where is the new website again?
