We had an absolutely fabulous trip, I'll write more later,
but for now, you can all savor the fact that I DID get to
the Poiret exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. And
since I had ordered the book, and it came before we left,
now I can take an even closer look.

It was stunning, I just drooled over the fabrics, designs,
beadwork, etc. They had two 3D (holograph?) shows, taking a
length of fabric and showing how he draped it to make a
lovely gown. Incredible!
Weird listening to the comments of other viewers who hadn't
a clue, though. I think they missed the context of how
fashion forward he was for his time.
Later,
Beverly, exhausted following the drive in 100° temps from
Williamsburg to Norfolk, VA, where we discovered our flight
had been re-routed to Atlanta, with a 1.5 hour layover, a
long delay on the taxiway, and five hours with screaming
kids and air sick adults to PDX.

Welcome back! We'll be looking forward to your report - when you recover.
My DH got caught in the shutdown at Heathrow, and had experiences to
rival your own - a night on the floor, lost luggage, finding an
alternate way home. I'm still dealing with BA over refunds and lost
luggage.

My sympathies to your DH, that must have been a very scary
experience. I took a huge chance and checked both my large
suitcase and my "carry-on" which I had filled with treasured
mementos of the trip, as I found so many wonderful gifts and
souvenirs I filled a large tote-bag, too. Fortunately both
checked bags arrived at PDX safely and on the same flight.
But that eastern weather.....you can have it! I do not know
how folks can function. I was taking two or three showers a
day, and dripping wet the rest of the time.

Awww, come on, it ain't that bad!!
Shoreline gale force winds from offshore storms, beach erosion sometimes so
severe as to lose cliffs and houses.
Perenial rain in the NW.
Nor'easters in the NE.
Hurricanes and associated damage in the mid-Atlantic to Mexican gulf.
Some of the humidest weather around in the SE.
Mid-west to the Alleghenies the typical severe thunderstorms with hail, high
winds, possible tornados.
Around the Great Lakes lake effect snow.
High heat and droughts in the Rockies to the south and west.
Avalanches in mountainous areas, upper mid-west severe cold in winter.
Earthquakes on the west coast.
Except for the more northern areas of the NE we've got it good!!
An occasional heatwave with its associated moisture coming up east of the
Alleghenies is nothing.
No place else I'd wanna be,
AK in (eastern) PA
