Flight Delay ..... Grrrrrr!
This is not the post I intended to put tonight. Sharon and I have started a holiday trip today. I was going to write about what I intend to read on the trip but got distracted and frustrated when we reached the airport in Saskatoon. For a change we were well ahead of time. Then at check-in the young WestJet agent said because of weather issues our plane is 3 hours late!
We had already dispatched our van with friends so we have been sitting in the departure area since 7:30 this evening and hope to leave around 12:15.
I am not optimistic about departure time. They just announced our plane was hit by lightning and they have to do a tail switch.
I have spent the evening reading The Skin Collector by Jeffery Deaver. It is suitably fiendish and rather chilling about all the poisons around that an evil person can use.
I will pass on more about the trip and book plans later in the weekend.
Count your blessings, Bill. I just hope your plane isn't diverted because some selfish passenger gets into a volatile disagreement over the reclining privileges of the person in front of him....or her. What a bizarre social phenomenon that has become! Temporary insanity and selfishness no know boundaries.
John: Thanks for the comment. I fear you have become a curmudgeon railing at society and technology. Once we got to Calgary the last two flights were uneventful though I do not enjoy JFK in New York.
Bill, by the time I posted this I hope you and Sharon will have had a safe flight out of Saskatoon. I hope you both have a lovely holiday.
ReplyDeletePrashant: We got to our younger son's condo about 2:00 in the morning. We leave Calgary in the morning. Thanks for the good wishes.
DeleteBill - Oh, how very frustrating! I hope you caught your flight safely, and that you have a wonderful trip, even though it didn't start well.
ReplyDeleteMargot: Thanks for the kind words. We are looking forward to getting away. I am sure you have also spent hours waiting in airports.
DeleteHope all goes well from here on out. Look forward to hearing about the trip and your reading on the trip.
ReplyDeleteTracyK: Thanks for the good wishes. We are on he ship! I shall post soon about my ship reading.
