Wednesday 1/6 noon - and problems already!

Faithful readers...

We haven't left Chicago yet and already we have a crisis - our Delta flight from Chicago to NY JFK has been cancelled! Our travel agent says that this has become common when large snowfalls are forecast for Chicago or NY - and we are facing a projected 8-inches of snow overnight tonight.

So, our agent was able to find a 5:45AM departure - but from Midway! Unfortunately, Midway is so far away in travel time that we would have to leave about 1AM to get there 2 hours ahead of departure. Instead, we are now hoping that there will be space on a 5:45AM flight from O'Hare to Atlanta to JFK. Our agent wants to get us out of town as early as possible - alternatives even include a 2AM flight.

Air travel was never fun, but it has become the worst aspect of most trips I have taken in the past several year.
