The Woe’s Of Holiday Travel
Posted on December 24th, 2008 at 10:28 amThe idea was go south and have a nice pre-Christmas party. Well that went well, and then came yesterday. Sitting in the airport to start the day we were told the plane was running late due to Ice. Well okay I figured that this is the season for storms no big deal and I had plenty of time to catch my next plane in Memphis. Oh and how wrong was I? After sitting for over 12 hours the dreaded message hit the flight list, CANCELED! So I got in line along with many of my fellow travelers. I can fly to anyplace in the US and Canada and Mexico, anyplace that is does not include my destination. So at about 1AM I was told that I had 2 options both involving me being stuck in Lovely Memphis until Christmas day. Okay if that is the only option I will take it. Now comes the part that really toast’s my cookies. It seems as if Northwestern has a reputation of canceling flights daily here in Memphis. Let’s just say this will be the last time I use Northwestern Airlines or any of it’s partners. Well you get the hint so I am going to sit back have some good BBQ and then who knows maybe even go and visit Graceland. For all of you have a Merry Christmas and I will talking to you all later.
Update on the flight news it seems as if tomorrow there might be a tad bit of a hangup too. Darn that movie Planes,Trains, and Automobiles has come to life and bitten me.
