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*

Very annoying - though it does give you an opportunity to meet up with xparrot!

Thank goodness for understanding petsitters!

Wow. That is. Very much less than optimal? GRAR at the delays! (No seats until Wednesday, what?!)

But YAY for getting to meet xparrot (hopefully). You guys give each other hugs from me! Wish I could be there! \o/

OMG, that like sucks major rocks!!!! I HATE flying (I get motion sickness), so getting anywhere is always an ordeal. This would not only have me sick, but the number of hops! yikes.

Aw, wish I'd known you were in Dallas. Hope you enjoyed a bit of our fine weather though Sunday was warmer than yesterday. Enjoy Seattle. Beautiful place (at least in the summer when I've been there). Safe travels!
