10/07/19 - On 10/2, I went over to visit Aunt Ada for a minute and pick up a bag that had wheels on it so I can use that to travel tomorrow.
10/3 - I got up at 3:45 am to get ready to meet the light rail at 4:51 am to get to the airport for a 7:30 am flight. I got a text from American airline informing me that my flight was cancelled and I would be re-scheduled at 1:40 pm to get into Sacramento at 3:40 pm. Anne and Laura were flying in from San Diego and David drove in from Groveland, California and we were all meeting within about 10 minutes of each other. Sacramento is two hours from Lake Tahoe which was our finally destination so me coming in late in the afternoon just would be horrible. I then tried to call Anne and no answer, Laura and no answer, David and no answer. David did call back almost immediately and we talked it over and decided if I could re-route to Reno, Nevada that would at least be only an hour from Lake Tahoe instead of waiting all morning and early afternoon for me to arrive in Sacramento. I could get back on the phone with American, I did get a call from Laura and explained the situation and we decided that was the best thing to do since I could be in Reno at 9:18 am. So I made the change and learned that the flight was actually 9 minutes earlier and by the time I got everything done, I missed the light rail so was not sure I would I would catch the flight. I did get on the next light rail which was 20 minutes later. I then learned that it would take about 51 minutes to the airport instead of the hour that I had thought so a little more time. I did make the flight. I then learned from Anne that there was a shuttle from the Reno airport to several places in Lake Tahoe which was great. I got to Reno, found the shuttle which left almost an hour later but I would be in Lake Tahoe just a few minutes earlier than their drive in. I got dropped off at a hotel and explained to them, where I was and they were still about a half and hour from Lake Tahoe so I sat inside in the lobby until I got a text and they were 10 minutes away. It took them awhile to try to find the way into the hotel to find me and finally David called to ask exactly where I was when he saw me as he was walking up the sidewalk. So now we are finally all together!! We were all hungry so the first stop was food and we ended up a a great pizza place. It was so good to see everyone since it had been a long time that we were all together. From lunch, we found a grocery store for food since we were in an AirB&B. Off to our townhouse. It was a very, very nice place and very comfortable. It just had three levels and all stairs but I survived. You walked into the first which had two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Second floor had dining room, kitchen, living room and patio. Third area was a loft off the living room. We just had snacks for the evening, watched some TV but since it was an early morning for all of us so off to bed early.
