Slight delay out of Columbus, but still landed in Detroit close to schedule.
Upon landing, I had an email and voice mail from Delta stating my flight to Newark was delayed until 2:35pm. Ugh!!!!
Headed to the Delta SkyClub… looked at other airports – but any of the other airports in the region would get me in around the same time. So I stuck with the original plan. 3 hours in Detroit! Woo-hoo!!
Finally got on the plane, taxied out… pause… engines shut down. This is never a good sign. Moments later the captain informs us that Newark has put us on a ground hold due to congestion over Newark.
AGHHHH!!!!!
Sure enough, it was just before 5pm as I exited the rental car facility. And as usual, Linda always screws up in Newark…. She led me astray – but I quickly recovered!
Finally got on I-95! Bumper to bumper… inching along. Took 45 minutes to go 2 miles.
But I was entertained by the pickup truck of idiots in the lane next to me… they had a dry erase board on which they would write messages. The message to me was “SHOW YOUR BOOBS!”
Eventually discovered it was more that rush hour traffic – there was a truck that had exploded. Seems to be a recent theme for me.
Ironically, my mom received the letter from the cruise insurance company today – informing us we would not get our money back because the cause of us missing our cruise was not covered on the plan. However, in the coming weeks we would be receiving vouchers from NCL – a 75% cruise credit (of what we paid) for a future cruise.
So there is indeed hope that Spring Break 2010 will indeed happen before years end. Maybe?
After about 2 hours, I arrive at the hotel. (It should be a 45 minute drive)
My grand plans of getting in early and going to downtown Princeton for dinner were quickly fading!
Got settled and headed down to the bar for dinner.
Just like last time – it sucked and was very overpriced!
