The holidays can be so wonderful, but also SO exhausting and frustrating. We left our house yesterday at 11:30 to leave New Orleans. After sitting in the airport for four hours due to our flight being delayed, we finally made it to Dallas. By that time we had missed our connecting flight to Minneapolis/St Paul, and the rest were full. Thankfully Scott's dad was able to get us a hotel at a great price close to the airport and we hunkered down there for the night. We were up at 4:15 to catch our next flight to Chicago now, due to the flights to Minneapolis being so full. We made it to Chicago and now all flights into Minneapolis are cancelled "due to the weather" (although it hasn't even started snowing there yet). We're sitting here with panicky, stressed travelers all around us. We're so tired and have had plans changed so many times it's almost amusing now. And so my dear family and friends in snowy St. Paul and Hudson, maybe I will see you for Christmas and maybe I won't...we're trying as hard as we can!
P.S. The best part of this all is that our two checked bags with all the Christmas presents have been waiting for us in MSP since last night (apparently we should have just tucked ourselves in them) and the one carry on bag that had everything that is most important to me was not allowed on the last flight to Chicago due to the flight it being so full. Thus, they gate checked it and cannot track it anymore and it is lost in the abyss of Bag Land. It could be worse. I'm trying to look at the bright side. Such as the possibility of a well deserved shopping spree with new clothes in my near future if we don't make it to St. Paul. :)
