Well, the day began somewhat auspiciously - as the taxi was leaving the hotel and almost through town, we slowed down as another car was making a turn...unfortunately, the car behind us apparently did not slow down and plowed into us going full speed. Fortunately, I was wearing my seatbelt, so only my breakfast (fresh fruit to go) flew into the front window (the other car was totaled, with the radiator and the engine nearly in the front seat, but no injuries that I could tell - amazingly our car was in decent shape, but we still took another car to the airport to be safe) The police allowed us to leave quickly since I had a plane to catch, but my back was thrown a bit. The airport was pretty easy to navigate; since I was cutting it close, that was a relief. The ride started nicely, but tri-state storms forced us to divert our landing so that we could re-fuel and wait for the airport to re-open. Fortunately, we were able to get in just a few hours later than planned. A good trip!
