Grand Rapids to Billings

We drove to Grand Rapids, Michigan for our next journey out West. It snowed all the way there thought you can't tell it from these pictures. I kinda laughed to myself as we passed the state line because in the past I always thought of Michigan as the snow country, but not this year. Indiana is their equal when it comes to snow and cold.





When I took this shot, it was actually snowing quite abundantly causing a blurred effect. Who needs Camera+, right? I can get the effect naturally.





We were able to get a more direct flight from Grand Rapids to Billings so we thought we would try it. The Gerald Ford International Airport is small but very nice and has great facilities for waiting. Our flight was delayed soon after we got there. It was one of those good news bad news events. First we were delayed, but when we took off, the prevailing wings actually got us to Minneapolis fairly on time. However, because we were early, they didn't have a gate for us to disembark. We were supposed to have an hour layover, but that didn't happen.





We finally walked off the plane at Gate G. However, our next flight was at Gate C so we literally had to run about a half mile to get to our gate. We were the last 2 people to board the plane and they closed the door behind us.






Praise God! we made it to Billings ahead of schedule, but my luggage did not. Kati & Moses were there to greet us in their jammies, but I think they were disappointed when they couldn't pull the luggage off the belt. No big deal. My luggage took a small detour to Salt Lake before arriving here at noon today.
