Holiday Travel Follies: Part 5

[hrj]

I was going to subtitle it "the air traffic controlers strike back" but that would put an unnecessarily negative spin on things. The flight to Boston ended up being delayed no more than 4 hours, putting me in my hotel bed finally at 3:30 am with an 8am wake-up call. (I suggested to the desk clerk that at the per-hour rate I was paying for the room, I thought it only fair that they throw in a cheap hooker. I think he was joking when he said he could probably arrange it.) The airport web site shows my flight to Augusta as "on time". It is, while not inconceivable, at least highly improbable that my luggage has not managed to keep up with me, given how much time I've spent between flights. (The luggage was checked through to Augusta, so I didn't have to bother with it last night.)

When I hear your tale
It seems the road less traveled
Never looked so good.

When they say "On Time"
Do they mean "Punctual" or
"Spread out over months"?

My sincerest wish:
That all the fuss and bother's
Worth it in the end

Well, I'm glad you did make it to Boston, but *oy*.

What's even more frightening is that, for various reasons, we were still up when you left Dulles. We got to bed maybe 15 minutes before you did.

I sincerely hope the rest of your trip (including all legs back to CA) goes much more smoothly.

Highly improbable? Hah. It is my considered opinion that the odds on luggage being misdirected grow exponentially with the number of flights (actually taken or not) involved. We'll see.
