After spending all of last night on the phone with US Air I had resigned myself to not being able to leave now until Sunday evening. Our one possibility we had left of still going today meant taking Amtrak but when we got up early this morning there weren't any seats left. Popster wanted to drive to Philadelphia but I wasn't crazy about that idea for a couple of reasons.....
We threw the rest of our packing in our cases & headed out the door to drop Molly off at the kennel & get on our way. Driving there was pretty straight forward in spit of all the snow & our valet service dropped us at international departures at 4:00PM.
The US Air check-in was a zoo.....there were so many people trying to change to other flights because they had also been canceled. We were in line for about 1 3/4 hours but were so relieved when we found our flight was still leaving. We headed up to our gate & had dinner & then pretty hung out until 8:30PM. Then they made an announcement that they had to get us a plane from the hangars so we would be about 30 mins late boarding. That was fine with me as long we were leaving.
We took off about 45mins late & I settled in with my knitting, some movies & the biggest sigh of relief!!!!!
- Mark had borrowed Wanda, without which we always get lost.
- What if we got there & they canceled that flight?
- We would have to drive back from there in two weeks being very tired!
- Where would we leave our car.
