Well, Phillip and Laura experienced what is now being referred to as "the Most Expensive Bus Ride Ever"! Since Fall, the band students at Buckhorn have been working toward a trip to Orlando at a cost of approximately $500 for each student. On Wednesday, they loaded up the bus and drove to Paint Rock (say 10 miles) before receiving a call to return home because two six years old in Madison may have swine flu which is probably only as serious as normal flu.
I am baffled that they would force them to abandon their trip resulting in disappointed kids who had worked hard for this trip and the waste of a large amount of money (assuming 80 kids and chaperones, we are talking $40,000 just for Buckhorn. Two other schools also had to return.) However, malls and restaurants and professional sports still goes on!
Needless to say, many of us are a bit aggravated. Here is a 31 News story featuring Phillip's girlfriend, Christina, and her mom.
