Son of Holiday Travel Follies

[hrj]

So that 5:45 am flight out of Oakland that I got bumped to? It was "delayed indefinitely". I'm now booked on an 11am flight out of SFO via Washington-Dulles getting in to Boston ca. 11pm, which means I get to spend the night in Boston before getting a morning puddle-jumper to Augusta. This means that, in theory, I will be arriving in Augusta at 11:55am, 12/21, which will be slightly over 40 hours later than my originally-scheduled departure from Oakland Wednesday evening. There are, however, all sorts of things that can still go wrong with this plan.

But hey, I have an electrical outlet. I sprang for a day's worth of T-mobile wi-fi. I have two unread books. I have a couple notebooks worth of longhand composition (on my current novel) to be transcribed into the computer. I had a delicious sit-down breakfast of eggs Benedict with fresh Dungeness crab. The next step is to go on the web and line up a hotel room at the Boston airport for tonight. (If I were arriving at any reasonable hour, I'd try to connect up with random Bostonites for dinner ... but if I were arriving at a reasonable hour, I could make a connection to Augusta tonight.)

ETA: I now have a hotel room at the Holiday Inn Express at the Boston airport tonight. Yay.

It's been snowing fairly solidly since I woke up this morning. The weather website's insisting it's a "light snow mist." Um, yeah. Right.

Yeah, I saw that comment in your journal this morning and cringed. Well ... maybe they'll have it all shovelled off the runways by 11pm tonight. *whimper*
