With C470 closed to Marsh Bend, it's tricky getting on and off turnpike. The shuttle has gotten lost, driving in circles plus today's van had no air conditioning when my sil took it. When I got on, after waiting 40 minutes extra for the late van, I tried to tell the driver the best way to get on turnpike from my house in Marsh Bend, thru the Village of Newell. She told me to be quiet. She then circled around Warm Springs once, went to 301 passing the South turnpike, taking turnpike N, then off at 44 and then onto turnpike S. I called dispatch as I was concerned we wouldn't get to airport. Needless to say, we wasted at least 40 minutes driving in circles. My final trip, for sure. I am trying Groome
WOW, I agree with you, she certainly took the longest route if she did all that ! Did you miss your flight ??? Sure hope not.
