Getting to Frontier Bound

Well, I finally arrived at the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing. I left Friday morning (August 6th) from Fairbanks heading for Roswell, New Mexico to visit Mom a few days before I went to Kentucky to begin my adventure becoming a family nurse practitioner. Because of thunder and lightening storms, the plane from Seattle had to land in Abilene, Texas before going on to Dallas. Fortunately, my plane into Roswell was also delayed so that I could catch the flight, albeit I didn't arrive into Roswell until 2am Saturday morning.

When in Roswell, I was able to have lunch with Mom at Martin's Capital Cafe, along with her caregiver DeeDee and DeeDee's daughter-in-law, Ramona. Mom wasn't really aware of who I was, which was sad. It was even sadder the next day when I had lunch with here and DeeDee's family and she finally recognized me but it was time for me to leave.

So, I left Roswell to head for Lexington, Kentucky. the plane was delayed out of Roswell so when I landed in Lexington I had to run to catch the plane. Everyone else had already boarded and they were ready to close the doors. Of course, when I got to Lexington, my luggage didn't. I left a claim at American Airlines, then took the shuttle to the Crowne Royal Plaza.

The next morning, I went to buy toiletries to take a bathe. However, I didn't have any clean clothes as I broke one of my travel rules: always carry a clean change of clothing in your carry on. I met Rosemary (from Washington) and Ed (from Sitka) for lunch at my hotel. Afterwards, Ed went to rescue Sarah (from Michigan) as she was having car troubles and Rosemary and I took the shuttle to the airport to meet the bus which would take us to Kentucky
