Stranded in Texas, Part 3

Monday, May 11th

8:30 pm.

New Orleans flight delayed until 10:30pm. I see a pattern here--it'll get cancelled, and if not I'd still have about 2 hours of driving to do in crap weather to get to Baton Rouge, which might put in at about 2 am. IF I can get a rental at that hour. IF they haven't already given up my hotel reservation.

I think it's time to call it quits and just head to the hotel, get some rest, charge up the stuff, call all the places that are expecting me tonight or in the morning. Also, my once comfy traveling pants now officially have baggy butt.


[Post script 5/18: I actually got on the New Orleans flight, and a fellow strandee was headed home to Baton Rouge--about 4 miles from my hotel!! Thanks go out to Bill and his fiancee for giving me a ride and who only asked that I return the favor to someone else in need if I can.]
