Glamour of Travel

I haven't posted for a while because I spent a few days in Ottawa. Along the way I managed to spend one night in Chicago (on purpose, because you can't get to Ottawa in the same day from here if you leave after noon) and one night at Dulles. The latter was due to weather problems causing a missed connection. Along the way I enjoyed the benefits of the new inane idea of putting your toiletries in a quart ziplock bag. The good news is I could carry on everything I needed. The bad news is that someone really thinks asking you to put your mouthwash and toothpaste in a baggie so they can see it is making us all safer. I did not know about the new movement to express your opinion on the topic, or I might have joined in. Lord knows I had plenty of extra time at the airport. Another delay wouldn't have made any difference.

Paige and I are very sad that you didn't call us to tell us you were stuck nearby. Oh well, guess you'll have to come visit us for real another time.

I didn't think you would have wanted to pick me up at the airport at 1AM and get me back at 6:30AM, or I would have called. As it was, it wasn't apparent until about 10:30PM whether the flight crew was going to have enough hours left to get us to Dulles anyway, so I thought I was going to have to find a hotel in Ottawa. But, I should be sorting out the Thanksgiving plans this week.
