Plains, Planes, and Automobiles

December 23rd, 2007

Left California over twelve hours ago for what was supposed to be a six hour trip to the in-laws up in Door County, Wisconsin. Because of the winter weather yesterday many Midwest airports were shut down and flights delayed. So our plane stopped in Kansas City to pick up some folks who were trapped there. We stayed on the runway for an hour and a half – naturally, they didn’t let us off the plane.

Eventually we made it to Milwaukee and our connecting flight to Green Bay was delayed. So instead of the parents picking us up at midnight on icy roads, we decided to just stay over in a hotel on Packerland Drive (great name). At least they have free WiFi and breakfast. That lukewarm Pizzeria UNO thing I ate in Milwaukee needs a chaser.

Anyhow, I’m actually looking forward to some “white Christmas” action in the copious amounts of snow, of which there is zippo back home in California. Nothing like stomping around in the snow for a bit and then warming up next to a warm fire. And when the novelty of the cold (it’s 18 degrees) begins to wear off, we’ll be on a plane back to the Bay Area. That is, unless we get sidetracked to Iowa in some John Candy movie.
