Her Icelandic flight was cancelled out of Paris due to the pilot's strike, then it was held back 5 hours from the departure time, thus they had to find a hotel in Seattle after missing their connecting flight to Eugene. Two of the group came down with flu-like symptoms during the trip , but no MERS, according to their local Doctors.<br /><br />Glad you avoided the deluge on your walk with Callie! Always a concern here as well during spring. Your flowers and that grape bud are beautiful! <br /><br />MARY IN OR<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911284607089608538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-86860054764909464272014-05-21T14:05:10.779+02:002014-05-21T14:05:10.779+02:00The grapevine photo is neat.
