I called Lisa to have two guards to meet me at my hangar so I can pick up Julia and Alexa from the airport.  She says she  will go only because the others are asleep , off of work, and others are doing keeping the property safe or sick.  Jeff and Adam Stevens was sick.  They recently changed their last name to Wilson. She tells me she will meet me there.  I know,  I have hired a lot of new people. Many retired or quit.  I only have Lisa Brooks who does  the scheduling. Jeff and Adam Wilson  were the only employees left.  The others I am still learning their names.  I still miss the ones who left.
Alexa woke me up at close to three in the morning Pacific time.  She said they arrived about five minutes ago and are fueling and adding necessary other fluids. She helps me up, and we get our coats and make our way inside the plane.

" Good morning, Dr. Ruiz, I mean, Dr. Leon and Alexa.  Dr. Ruiz had the pilots fly faster to avoid the weather getting worse."

We both told her to give the pilots cash for them to pay for all the gas and fluids.  The flight attendant took our last of both of our cash and left us to get comfortable. We remove our masks and toss them in the trash. We spray our coats, ourselves, and the luggage's.

Dr. Leon, we will be having other passengers that you know. Julian and Liz will be coming shortly.  They just arrived at the airport."  " Please have them spray themselves and their luggage too with this lysol. We be going to the main cabin.  Please bring us some hot water with lipton teabags, Stevia, and the kettle. I will keep the door open."  " Yes, mam."

We went to change in the bathroom into pajamas and our slippers.  We hear Liz tell the flight attendant who we gave our cash to.

" Shit, we are glad Julian called Cindy.  She is at the airport with Lisa waiting.
It's bad out there. I lost my hat because it's too windy. "

She excuses herself and knocked on the door.

" I don't know whose money is whose.  This is what is left over. "

Julia tells her to divide it with the other crew members.  She thanks us and leave.  The other lady knocks and says she has our tea. Alexa takes it and we thank her.

"FUCK ITS BAD OUT THERE YOU TWO.  THEY GOT CLEARED TO TAKE OFF. LIZ AND I BARELY MADE IT HERE. THE ROADS ARE BEING CLOSED.  SOME OF THE DOORS AND WINDOWS OF AIRPORT BUSTED BEFORE THEY COULD BOARD THEM UP. WE TOOK A TAXI CAB FROM OUR HOTEL. WE STILL HAD TWO MORE WEEKS TO BE HERE."
" Julian, we had another week but God allowed us to get here safely. "  " Amen to that. I better go get out of these wet clothes. See you two gals later and enjoy your tea.  Liz asked for coffee for us."

He left and I closed and locked the door. The plane was climbing and Alexa grabs me and pulls me towards me before I had a chance to fall. We could tell the captain is going up high to avoid the rain as much as possible. The turbulence is bad. He finally gets to even out the plane.

" Sweetie thank you. I wasn't expecting him to fly that way so suddenly. "  " Your welcome.  I will got get a towel to clean up the tea that spilled."

She did that and I poured us some more. The flight for about half in Spain had a lot of turbulence.  We finished our tea and went to use the restroom before we fell asleep maybe 4:30 a.m. pacific time.
