Return to Port Clinton Ohio

After an excellent visit Mom has returned to Ohio via the infamous Logan airport. Things went smoothly but there are so many hurdles today that just going to the airport is exhausting. Central parking is being modified it yet again. It seems that they are adding additional floors to the parking lot one section at a time. Central Parking is now configured as two parking lots with bridges between them. You and enter at the western parking lot and then have to go through a maze watching the signs carefully to ensure that you get to a space somewhere close to the terminal from which you are going to embark. There are all sorts of zigs and zags and up and downs and restricted areas. It can be done but one has to be very observant. Fortunately for mom, Continental Airlines and gates are very close together in terminal C so we didn’t have to get a wheelchair for her. However, in going through security because of her pacemaker they had to take are aside and look for bombs and knives in a special area. It was something to watch my ad of 85 year old mother with their arms extended been patted down and scrutinized with a wand by one of the agents. I’m sure that this level of attention is a warning to would be terrorists. However, it all worked well ans she had a pleasant flight to Cleveland and was able to meet my brother in baggage claim.
