Driving to Indianapolis...
Hi, Jason back again.
The second leg of my trip began Sunday night at 10 pm after break down of our display at World’s Greatest Hobby in Cleveland. I hit the road again to drive the show material to Indianapolis, where our next Showcase is scheduled for Wednesday, March 18th.
After, a much-needed Red Bull and pizza, I did the 5 hour drive without stopping, arriving at the hotel around 3 AM. I secured the engines and materials for Wednesday’s show, and headed to my hotel to catch some shut eye before my flight back to New York.
I woke up at about 5:45 am and quickly got my things together for my 7:30 am flight. I checked out and plugged in my Tom-Tom GPS (which has never failed me) to take me to the airport. Now here’s the funny part: I get to the airport to discover that the entire airport has moved, literally. I now realize why the woman at the front desk gave me a paper with the directions to an airport that my GPS was unaware of. I later learned that about 6 months ago the entire airport moved 5 miles away.
Good thing I generally check in online for my flights, I made it just in time and was the last passenger to board and made it safely back to New York. I hope to rejoin the Showcases on the road sometime soon.
Stay tuned!
