First, we boarded. Then we taxied. Then we waited — but after two hours, thanks to the new Passenger Bill of Rights, our plane was sent back to the terminal here in Atlanta.
Now, our 6:10 departure has been shifted to 10:30. We ate amusing ourselves with Quizni's veggie sandwiches and Blue Bell ice cream.
Will we really get out at 10:30? Time will tell. Until then, we're making the most of our snow day at the world's busiest airport.
Update: We got out around 1:00. After 40 minutes of de-icing, we took off — and landed in Seattle at 4:14 AM. (With that kind of flight time, we could have taken a weekend in Tokyo!) But no worries — we are happy, happy, happy to be in "our neighborhood" in Seattle, holed up in the swanky Hotel Andra and within walking distance to our favorite brunch and dinner spots. Let the weekend begin!
