The Holiday Travel Follies

I was expecting to run into snow delays in Boston. I was quite prepared to find that my flight from LA to Boston had snow issues. But I hadn't quite expected my itinerarius interruptus to get only as far as the Oakland Airport Hilton. It seems the plane that was supposed to be the Oakland-to-LA leg had mechanical problems in LA and never left the ground to come up here. Given that I'm now leaving Oakland at 5-mumble in the morning, the free airport hotel room makes life a lot simpler than having to go home and back again.
