Dulles

The good news is that I have $400 in travel credit from the airline. I also have free wi-fi and some free food. (If I may offer a tip to public food areas... Have more than two flavors of yogurt. If you can't have more than two flavors of yogurt, make sure they are VERY different. Strawberry and Strawberry-Banana are not sufficient in that regard.)

To do that, I had to get up at four in the morning, be bumped from my 8:00 a.m. flight, and have my new flight not be until 6:35 p.m.

Allow me to add, that they did have me on an earlier flight -- to the wrong city in Florida. I pointed out that Orlando wasn't going to help me when I needed to be in Tampa/Clearwater, hence the 6:35 pm flight.

I'd hoped to get to the Salvador Dali Museum today, but that's not going to happen. Swimming may still happen if the pool is open when I get to the hotel. I like swimming at night.

HUGS! :(

I've been stuck on the ground at Dulles for a seven hours+ wait and I really sympathise because yeah, it all gets real old real quick. I trust there are no thunderstorms there today? It seems to attract them like a big magnet.

I hope you get to do your swimming!

The thunderstorms were yesterday. Today's supposed to be beautiful, but I can't go out in to it. *sigh*

Strawberry AND strawberry-banana. Wow. That really is brimming with variety. Or, you know, not.

Enjoy Survive your day at Dulles. Hope you get to swim tonight and enjoy your time in Florida when you (finally) get there.

Your icon knows my methods. And being allergic to strawberries sucks.

Strawberry/Strawberry-Banana? That's it? Good goddess.

Dali. That would have been awesome. Maybe later in the week?

No such luck. Every moment was planned for us and my office wouldn't let us stay the extra night to let me go this afternoon/evening. *sigh*

I'm waiting in another airport for my flight to be called.
