Yes ...Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Yes I was talking about CIRA - BMI... I ended up driving to O'Hare to get to my customer on time. <BR/><BR/>My brother works somewhere in IT at UIS.. though I see you are in the D.C. area now. I used to travel to D.C. for work frequently and Springfield (SPI) has direct flights there now!Troyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10038245265232633198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667137.post-81714035087507336102007-09-08T22:44:00.000-05:002007-09-08T22:44:00.000-05:00I was just looking through my blogroll...

So the reason I had added your site (awhile back) could be because of an Illinois connection (I see, from being back here, that that is where you are based); 'Twenty Something' is also from Illinois, and he had blogrolled my site, but I see that his is no longer current. I may have commented here before, or been linked to by you before, or something... It's hard to remember, after being at so many blogs, for all these years. [My 5-year 'Blogiversary' is one week from today.]<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on continuing to maintain a current and active weblog. The second paragraph of this particular entry jumped out at me, because, to create an embedded link in <A HREF="http://uis.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html#4401660751389036114" REL="nofollow">this entry</A>, I was looking for a Blogosphere reference to the "Bloomington airport." I had done a Google Blogsearch (it's better I think, when doing links, to link to others' blog entries, rather than non-blog web pages), and I remember seeing an entry or two on Bloomington, Indiana, and perhaps a couple on our Bloomington Airport; I ended up linking to <A HREF="http://mfisteach.blogspot.com/2007/06/take-offs-and-landings.html" REL="nofollow">this one</A> - but if this post of yours had been there at the time, it would have been ideal to reference.<BR/><BR/>You are referring to the Bloomington, <I>Illinois</I> airport, right? (CIRA - BMI) I remember, when I was in a hurry to get back to <A HREF="http://www.uis.edu" REL="nofollow">campus</A> one time, when landing there, I decided to pack everything into one carry-on, so I wouldn't have to go through baggage claim there.<BR/><BR/>I don't remember how fast or slow it is (when I did have to pick up bags there), but I do think that CIRA is very convenient, for those of us who live in central Illinois. It is small, and easy to get around in (in my recent trips, I've frequently had to use the Atlanta, Georgia airport - which I think is now the busiest in the world - so you may be able to imagine how nice of a change CIRA can be!... Were you at Midway or O'Haire, before hand?)... I see that you were also able to take advantage of the convenience a smaller airport like CIRA provides.<BR/><BR/>I am glad your trip went safely. Congratulations once again, for your fine weblog... I hope to be back here soon!Aakashhttp://uis.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667137.post-19941491350237254012007-09-02T21:30:00.000-05:002007-09-02T21:30:00.000-05:00Leace it to Jantina for not giving up!
