Did You Break Your Record For Days Grounded?
« on: July 05, 2020, 02:05:19 PM »
Previous record, dating back to when I turned 20: 115 days not in the air due to birth of child #2 in September 2013.
8/30/13 (Trip to FLL to discuss a DD merger)-115 days on ground-12/22/13 (LA Seminar)

Current record: 123 days not in the air due to COVID19 and birth of child #4 in May 2020.
3/4/20 (Babymoon trip to LA)-123 days and counting-??

I was booked to ORD next month, but United just cancelled it  >:(
