Our community was issued a manditory evacuation When hurricane Ike was heading to the gulf coast. We decided to take advantage of our Southwest airline tickets and make a long weekend/last minute vacation. We flew to Reno, rented are car and headed to Lake Tahoe. Our weekend trip turned into 10 days when Hobby Airport was damaged and closed for repairs. Knowing power was still out in many communities we stopped at home depot and bought a GENERATOR! I checked it and Southwest had it waiting for me at the baggage claim!
I have also brought back a box of artichokes and strawberries from festivals is California. I have check a bushel of cherries, box of crabs and salmon from Washington. I eat all I can and bring home even more!
Thank you Southwest Air for helping me make many happy weekend "run away from home" memories!! You have made exploring our wonderful country easy.
