At six of Paul's sisters, Evelyn called to ask them where they were to buy a ticket for the sommelier, as she had decided to take her to leave early and planned to join them the next day if she could buy a ticket. They told her they would be in Chicago for the next six days and wait for her there if necessary and for longer if she could not find a flight. She looked at the flights to Chicago and saw that there was a flight at eleven tonight, took a ticket, and told Paul to meet her at the airport at eight in the morning. She will wait at the airport until they come to pick her up. He wished them good night and went to pack. Make sandwiches for the trip, put a few books and magazines. He quickly packed two suitcases with what he needed, took his medicine and his medical bag. He sat down to dinner, locked up everywhere, and called an airport taxi. When the taxi overtook her, she turned on the alarm and locked the front door, picked up her luggage and the Danish bag with the ticket and passport, and left. He loaded the two suitcases, the medical bag, and the rucksack, and got into the taxi. When she got to the airport, she called Paul to tell him she would check in and buy water and juice for the flight. Paul wished her good luck and that they would see each other in the morning. Evelyn paid the driver and wished him good night, and went to get a luggage cart. The driver waited for her to return with the cart and helped her load it onto the cart. They said goodbye, and she entered the airport. Mina, at the check-in, let the two suitcases on the lane be loaded on the plane to Chicago; from there, she went to security and passport control and headed to the exit for her flight.

At ten-twenty, she began boarding for her flight; she was the first to travel in first-class and boarded the plane, took her seat, put her bags in the trunk, left her crossword puzzles, a book, and a phone and headphones. He sat down and bought his belt and called Paul for the last time to tell him that everything had gone well and wished him good night. He leaned back comfortably and stared out the window. At eleven, they took off, and the flight attendants wished them a light flight and passed in the carts with drinks and snacks. She took a glass of white wine and roasted nuts and blackcurrant juice. The plane was not very full, and there were only three more passengers in first class. They played a comedy, and she stared at the monitor. He drank his wine and enjoyed the flight. Later, the flight attendant offered her dinner, and she took a seafood salad and venison steak with potatoes and stewed vegetables, a fruit salad with vanilla ice cream, and another glass of wine. Dinner and listen to music on your phone. The flight passed quickly when they landed at three in the morning. She got up, put her things in her bag, put on her jacket, took her luggage, and got off the plane. He went to the passport office, showed his passport and from there went to get his suitcases. He took a cart, put his bags on it, and went to the bar to get his suitcases. From there, he went to the free shop and bought small gifts for everyone, a bottle of champagne and cognac, some chocolates, and a jar of honey, paid, and headed for the exit. To her surprise, Paul was waiting for her at the exit of the arriving passengers, had checked when his sister's flight landed, picked up Annabelle's jeep, and went to the airport to meet her. They loaded their luggage on the jeep and headed for the caravan park on the other side of town. It was five in the morning when they reached the parking lot. Paul unlocked the RV and brought in Evelyn's luggage; Cynthia got up from the noise and went to see what was happening. Good morning Evelyn, how are you traveling?
Good morning Cynthia, thank you very much. I hope you didn't wake me up?
I didn't go to the bathroom to check on the dogs and the cat when I heard you come in. Paul, you got up early today; I think Evelyn will be here at eight.
No, she landed at 3 in the morning. I checked and went to the airport to wait for her. She was going to wait for us at eight at the airport.
Good thing you checked and went to pick her up. Evelyn, if you want to go to bed, will I stretch out on the couch?
Oh no, I'm not tired. Paul, did I get everything out of the car?
Yes, all bags are in the room.
Did someone want coffee?
Please double espresso with a lump of sugar.
And for me, one please latte with two sugars.
Cynthia let the coffee machine heat up and made the coffee. Annabelle also rose from the aroma of the coffee; good morning to all the early risers. She made a latte and sat down on the couch next to Evelyn.
How are you? How did the flight go?
Well, thank you and how are you?
Well tired from the long drive through the country but happy. Won't you go to bed? Have you been traveling all night?
No, I slept a little on the plane, and I'm not tired. Sorry, we woke you up.
No problem, I went to the toilet and heard voices and came to see what was happening.
Everyone sends you many greetings and that they miss you. Michelle's class gave her a card and a present.
Exceptionally kind of them, she will be pleased.
Where did Paul say it was my luggage, to take the sandwiches and the juice to put them in the fridge?
In which bag are they to bring them to you?
In the backpack, please bring it and the bags from the free shop.
Paul brought her bags and backpack.
Come where to put them?
Be careful that there are choppy things inside. Give me the gift bag, please.
Paul handed the bag to his sister, and she opened it and pulled out the gifts she had bought them. Then he took his backpack, took out the sandwiches and juice, and handed them to Paul. She then took out her laptop and phone and laptop chargers and turned them on to charge. She had also brought her modem for the Internet and turned it on to set as well. He also took out the bottles of cognac and champagne and put them to cool. She had taken dried salami, sausage, and smoked bacon, which she put in the refrigerator. Then he put the backpack and empty bags in the room.
What are your plans for today?
If it's not raining, we plan to take a walk around Chicago. But first, we will have breakfast, and you will rest.
I will be glad to be able to visit some other museums. How will we distribute for sleeping in the evening?
Michelle and I sleep in one bedroom, Cynthia in the other, but there are twin beds, and Paul sleeps in the third bedroom. You can sleep in either Cynthia's room or the bedroom downstairs on the PB. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which share the large bathroom, and the third has a separate small bathroom and small living room. Downstairs there is another bedroom with bathroom, kitchen, and large living room and dining room.
You have a very luxurious mobile home.
Mercy bought it when I had to tour my book, and I don't regret it. As well as purchasing the mansion in the city and the jeep. This way, I can create amenities for Michelle, Cynthia, and me. Our families visit us every year, and I am glad that we have enough rooms.
Will Cynthia have a problem sharing a room with you?
Evelyn doesn't get upset when you want to be in the room together. There is room for everyone, so everything is ok.
When Michelle got up, they had breakfast with the sandwiches Evelyn had brought. After breakfast, they went to change and feed the animals and went to the city by jeep.

She unpacked one suitcase, put her clothes in the closet next to her bed, then took the things out of the second suitcase and arranged them in the bed's drawers. Arrange the clothes you bought today in the closet. Then he unloaded the empty bags at the bottom and put them in the trunk. He went upstairs again, arranged his toiletries in the bathroom, and arranged his books on the shelves above his bed. He tucked the backpack in the closet and placed the medical bag under the chair next to the bed. Cynthia helped her settle in, and then the two went downstairs where the others were watching a movie. They stayed up late and played dominoes. Annabelle ran her show and phone and was overheated by phone calls. When they went to bed, one passed through the night.
