And on Top of THAT....

Let me tell you how God opened the storehouses of heaven after we were already thrilled to only have to come up with a tithe of our expenses. It has to do with the heavens themselves--er, where the airplanes fly.

Three international airports serve close together in the Balto-Washington area, and three in the New York area. However, our greatest hope was to be able to fly directly from BWI to JFK. BWI is a great airport we know well, and is easy to get into and out of. Our other options: Dulles (which has a notorious reputation for snarling the insides of even the most patient, seasoned travelers) and Reagan Int'l (at which the airlines I scoped out had only a 50% on-time rating. In New York our other choices were Islip and La Guardia. (The drawbacks there would be having to take a cab or van between airports (tranlate: extra money plus more lugging of heavy baggage).

Either way, fares with and without cab rides for the two of us were ranging between 300 and 400 bucks.

Yesterday after church someone gave us the amount we need for roundtrip airfare between Baltimore and New York. My mouth dropped open. I was speechless (for the first time in my life??) We can fly directly from BWI to JFK with plenty of time to spare!
