Holiday Travel

Ugh... As I type this I am half in the bag at DFW (that's the Dallas airport for those of you not in "the know"). I have been trying to get back to Boston for 24 hours, with no luck. Let me recap the last24 hours of my life.

12/26 7AM MST: Woken up by Kira, sadly after Daddy and I went to bed after drinking MUCH too much wine.

12/26 9AM MST: Load Spore which was a Christmas gift from D. Played until 11:30AM even though I was NOT packed or close to it. I curse him for buying me this since he knows how addicted to shit like this I get.

12/26 2PM MST: Leave for the airport, with a pit stop at the baby mama's house. Laugh at the purified vomit in the driveway and drill the digits "867-5309" into Kira's head.

12/26 4:05PM MST: My 5:05 departure has been moved to 6:30PM

12/26 4:45PM MST: Say good bye to my lovies and wish them well en route to the Midwest.

12/26 4:47PM MST: Learn Midway has been closed.

12/26 6:10PM MST: Pay admirals club bar tab, and head to gate C37.

12/26 6:15PM MST: Get to gate, and wonder how a flight to LAX (that has not even deplaned) will board and take off in 2 seconds.

12/26 6:30PM MST: Grumble that my flight is delayed.

12/26 7:10PM MST: Grumble that my flight is delayed some more.

12/26 8:00PM MST: Flight to ORD canceled.

12/26 8:05PM MST: Confirm re-booking and head to collect bags.

12/26 8:55PM MST: Drops bags down the escalator. Yes, that really happened.

12/26 10:35PM MST: Back in Boulder thanks to a spare car & house key.

12/27 4:15AM MST: Back on the road to DEN thanks to my Garmin.

12/27 6:00AM MST: On flight ready to go.

12/27 10:55AM CST: Stuck in Wichita Falls, TX to refuel since DFW is closed.

12/27 1:35PM CST: Finally off the plane in Dallas.

12/27 4:55PM CST: Half in the bag, writing this post. Board in 45 minutes, god willing.
