OT: Exciting day...back home!

BarbMazz · 02-12-2008, 10:51 PM

Well, I'm not in Spain! The big storm came through and messed everything up, so I'm back at home for the night. We are booked on flights tomorrow.

We were put on and off the plane three times. The last time on we made it to the taxiway, and slid off the taxiway! Had to be towed out and back to the gate. The pilots were shortly thereafter "illegal" for flying time for the day, and a new crew was being flown in from La Guardia. We opted to travel tomorrow because that flight wasn't going to arrive until at least 10:30, and our international flight from Newark would have long departed.

So, here I am! Back on RS!

Listen, better safe than sorry!!! I just drove home from work and bridges are shut down (if you're in NJ and want to be in PA you're sc#%@#ed) and side streets are quite unnavigable.

It's supposed to warm up. Have fun in Spain!!

I guess a bad day on RS is better than a good day in Spain.
I'm not sure. Never been. Sorry to hear about the delay, but glad you get to play!

that happened to us once and since we had travel insurance it paid for us to stay at a nice hotel(eventhough we live only 10min. from the airport).. and since we didnt have our luggage it paid $500 each for shopping for clothes as well
