So many screens.
We sat in San Antonio waiting for the plane to arrive.
We missed a connection in Chicago and scrambled to stay overnight.
The next morning, we saw all flights to Syracuse canceled and wrangled our way onto two separate flights to Buffalo instead.
George rented a car. We got on their earlier flight thanks to a sympathetic gate agent.
That flight took off hours after the announced time.
We arrived in upstate New York a day after we thought we would, with 150 miles of road ahead. My dear wife Karen and I knew our luggage was on a plane still in Chicago.
Ain’t air travel grand?

I am currently sitting in the airport in Little Rock, Arkansas trying to fly into Chicago. I’m definitely missing my connecting flight. Flying is so much fun, isn’t it. I just wrote a blog about my current experience actually. Check it out!

Grand indeed ! Ugh. Hope all has since been sorted out. Why the cancels? Hurricane related?

Various weather issues but not the big hurricane, MBC. It also comes down to the fact that they took all those planes out of their fleet a bit back …

It is crazy! Hope your luggage arrived!

I stayed up until 2 a.m. to sign for the luggage when the surprisingly pleasant courier arrived in our driveway, Nance.

Well, damn. If you flew into Buffalo, you may have actually flown over my house. I could have waved!
Hopefully by now you’re safely back in Syracuse and didn’t have to drive through last night’s torrential downpour. And hopefully your luggage will eventually catch up with you.

I looked down to get a good look at Buffalo, too, CM. Yes, our luggage came to our driveway via car at 2 a.m. the next morning!

It was one heck of a trip, Kay. The hotel across the street from the arena in Rosemont was really nice …

And now what used to be a waste land is developed into restaurants and shopping :-). At least there are things to do around the hotel!

Yes, we walked over for dinner at a good place for sure, Kay.
