Grr. Aargh.

I swear, this trip is making me never want to fly anywhere ever again. On the trip out, we got massive turbulence and weather-related delays, leading to an unexpected night in Chicago; this time around, we got mechanical problems leading to massive delays leading to no seats until Wednesday on any of our connecting flights. So we spent the night in Dallas (on the airline's dime; they're definitely being very conciliatory) and today they're getting us as far as Seattle, where I will hopefully be able to meet xparrot (after only, what, 8 years of chatting online? *g*), and then on Wednesday night they can manage to get us all the way to Fairbanks ... getting in at 1 a.m. on Thursday morning.

So I'm missing a couple days of classes, and hubby is missing a few days of work -- sigh. At least our petsitter was able to spend some extra days watching the place. *clings to petsitter*

I am developing a hatred of it. XD Unfortunately, to get anywhere from Alaska usually takes a number of hours (a 10-hour flight is short for us) with several plane changes at various airports. So you kinda just have to put up with it. SIGH.

At least they have wireless on the plane! *waves to passing cloud*

I hope the rest of the flights go smoothly. Wireless hum? How much is the fees for that? The one flight I was on recently that had it, charged, and I didn't see for how much.

Yeah, there is a charge. It's $9.95 for a single flight, which I know is way more than it's worth for a 4-hour flight, but I couldn't resist the temptation. XD (And the flight is definitely speeding by! I suppose that I'm using the Internet's time-sucking tendencies to my advantage right now ...) I think I've been on a couple of previous flights that had wireless, but I didn't have a wireless-enabled laptop with me at the time.
