Holidays!

So, we were travelling to Corpus Christi on December 24th. The flight went from Toronto through Atlanta to Corpus Christi.

With the winter storm, there were few flight cancellations. The flight from Toronto was only 2 hours late in departing. By the time we got to Atlanta, we were already about an hour late for the connecting flight. It took 2 hours in the lineup to find out that the flight from Atlanta to Corpus Christi was cancelled (They had gotten 6 inches of snow that day. To put that in perspective, Corpus Christi received 2 inches of snow in 96 years before that *total*) We were fully expecting a night at the airport, but Delta gave us not only free vouchers for food, but also for two nights’ stay at an Inn.

By the time we managed to get to Corpus Christi, it was December 26th (and the luggage didn’t arrive for another day). It was inconvenient… but also kinda fun. I guess it all builds character. At least we weren’t flying ComAIR - we could’ve been completely screwed.

Anyway, I’ve been sitting here fixing computers for the last 3 days. Finally fixed the last computer - hopefully they’ll last a while. Just in case, though, I enabled Remote Assistant/Login so that I can easiliy fix it even if it’s completely broken… again… :p
