I'm back in Falls Church - and just in time too! Here's a little update on how my return trip went.Last night after the Super Bowl, I checked my phone and found out that my flight on United was canceled. No reason. They nicely rescheduled me for a 6 am flight Tuesday morning. Wrong-o United. I needed to get home Monday.
A phone call later I was booked on the 7:30 pm flight out of Indy Monday night. WHY I wasn't automatically booked there is beyond me. But it was nice to spend one more full day in Indy with everybody!
Tracy dropped me off at the airport at 5:40 pm where I learned that my flight for was canceled. Again. United tried to move me to the 6 am flight. Again. I said thanks but no thanks and took my business elsewhere. I knew darn well that Indy was expecting a good dose of overnight snow, and I wasn't sticking around for that. Because Virginia was getting the snow next, and I needed to get home before 2011.
Too make this long story a little big shorter, here's the run down of what happened next.
- I bought a ticket on Southwest to Baltimore (my car was at Dulles).
- I heard a FINAL boarding call for an AirTran flight to Baltimore.
- I ran and bought a ticket on AirTran.
- Rachel got me a Southwest refund.
- I used wifi in the air on AirTran for only $3.71.
- I landed in Baltimore.
- The Super Shuttle was going to be at least three hours before I could get my car.
- A cab fare from Baltimore to Dulles is really expensive, especially because there was a surcharge for the snow.
- I got the cab.
And went to Wegman's.
No school Tuesday or Wednesday. 10 to 20 more inches of snow starting at noon going through Wednesday night, so school isn't looking great for Thursday either. But at least I got milk and eggs and flour at Wegman's.
And I'm sitting on my bed with my dog. It's good to be home again.

Also. Spencer took this picture of Blake.
Glad you made it home!
With all these snow days, are you going to be teaching through July?
I love Wegman's so much! I visited one in NY and I fell in love! I'm jealous you guys have so many snow days, we've had NONE so far, but I have a sneaky suspicion I'll feel much better about that come June
No School again... geeze! Hello August school days.
Encourage WVU to have a snow day for me tomorrow...puuuhhlease?
