So I got up at 4:45 this morning to take the sister to the oh-so-happenin' Monroe airport. We pull up to the curb, say our goodbyes, and a skycap walks up, asks her where she headed to, and then tells her that her flight has been cancelled. See, that's the nice thing about flying out of a small town: the skycaps give you the heads up before your ride leaves. It turns out that the plane she was supposed to leave on never made it in last night because of the tornadoes and such. So already, on the busiest travel day of the year, flights are cancelled, people are crying (not me or Rachel, but some other lady behind me who couldn't roll with the proverbial punches), cars are being rented so people can just drive instead of wait for the 5pm flight that they had been re-booked on. You would think they would have a spare plane out back and a pilot on call so they could avoid such situations. I'm tellin' you - they should consult me on such things.
Well, Rachel drove to Shreveport to catch a flight there, so hopefully it will all work out for her and she won't be too delayed by the snow in the midwest. I'm heading out in a half an hour or so for Texas. I hear they're changing their slogan to "The Big Rainy".
Easy on the tryptophan.
