I missed my flight. as it turned out I was extremely lucky. it was the spring that airlines were dropping like flies, something was going on with the baggage handlers, flights were cancelled or held up all over the country, there was a major winter storn going through the middle of the country. I would have had a connection in Minneapolis, and as it turned out that airport was closed for about 12 hours. the travel department at my company got me one of the last rooms available and I just chilled. the next day I was re-routed through Kansas or something, and finally got home in time to repack and leave for a 6 week project in Hawaii  |
