Coming Home: We left Tennessee this morning at 7:ooam (6:oo Okie Time) and flew to Chicago. At 8:00 am, we are making our approach into O'Hare, I mean heading for the ground. If you have landed there you know what I'm saying. It is windy and raining. The pilot pulls the plane back up and says that conditions have caused the airport to shut DOWN. The "ground stop" caused us to fly down state to Bloomington where we landed and stayed until 10:30. They reopened Chicago and we take the short trip back and land. By now half the flights leaving O'hare are cancelled, except our flight to Tulsa which left before we arrived. Those already there got all the remaining flights south before we landed from our field trip to South Illinois farmland. SOOOOOOO. We are now scheduled to leave Chicago at 10:25 am TOMORROW!
Of course our luggage has already left!
We have had so far 5 days away from home. Two of those days were in airports. The ratio is not good. I have visited 5-1/2 airports so far. Ohare-2-1/2 times. Tomorrow makes 3-1/2!
Have I told you how gracious and helpful the folks at American Airlines are? I didn't think so!
