Magic In Paradise: 10/8-10/15 2011. All cruisers check in here. (#2)

[Octoberbride03]

For anyone thinking of flying in on the day of the cruise. DON"T do it. Anything can happen. This is my story live. I am taking a quick flight from Buffalo to Baltimore. Well a tropical storm is pounding BWI and we were diverted and now I am in Philly. Too bad my car is in Baltimore since Philly is actually closer. Well we are sitting here is Philly for an least the next hour. This adventure started at 3:35pm takeoff from Buffalo. Let see where it ends.

Since we know you're on SW( so was i for that last little story btw) we know there is no real food on board. But I do hope they are offering free drinks

AND that my friends is EXACTLY why we plan to fly in two days early. LaGuardia is always cancelling and delaying flights so we wanted to be sure we had plenty of time/options. Twice I was scheduled to fly out of LGA for Nashville and TWICE the flight was cancelled and told that the earliest they could get us out was 3 days later. Since we absolutely positively had to be there the next day...we rented a car and drove!

Dan do you fly us (SWA) a lot?

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

Dan do you fly us (SWA) a lot?

about 3 to 4 times a year. Still here is Philly.

Yeah, more peanuts

We always fly out the night before and this is why.

But don't you also get those little "urine sample size" cups of soda too?

Oh Yeah!. I need a konk cooler right about now. We were just delayed another hour.

And this must really bite when you KNOW that your house is practically a straight shot down the road

That is the worst part. I am sooo tempted to tell DW to come get me but then I have to go to BWI with the family to get the car. Still here.

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

I'm bored here on the plane. This calls for a shameless picture bump.

Oh yeah, I don't doubt it

Might be worth the trip though. Little sidetrip to the Inner Harbor and pick up the car. I don't know how long I'd be able to stand it.

 

[aan1701]

Dan, I am so sorry you are going through this. The Weather must be pretty harry at BWI. On your next flight after the cruise I will make sure you get some free cocktails.

 

[Octoberbride03]

Well, while you are bored on the plane. I am bored enough to try and clear a "carrier jam" on my printer

 

[Octoberbride03]

I solved the carrier jam. Looks like my printer ate some paper MONTHS ago and shoved it into a corner. Remove paper and printer works like a charm.

I can finally get to work on my FE gifts in earnest

Yup, that's what I need this cruise. A good night shot of the funnel

 

[sullins5]

: Wow! Hadn't had time to get on in a day and look what I missed:
Cinderelly opening this #2..
DVCTigger's Anniversary~ Hope it's a great one!
Alan's at a club..
Dan is on hold with nothing but peanuts and a urine cup of soda? And you know..at least you get peanuts..on Air Tran, it's just pretzels. No idea of what Delta has...
Maureen is jammed.....and didn't that happen on our last thread?

Remind me to keep better in touch you guys! Y'all have had way to much fun! And this is why we all need that cruise and soon!

Can't wait...Oh, and where is this thread now? First or 2nd page? I guess I'll have to go take a 'peek'....

Yay! You fixed it! Now can you come fix mine? I tried to print a magnet today...and couldn't figure out how to do it...the printer wouldn't work at all...not jammed...something with all the computers. And this is why I wasn't meant to do those magnets!

And This is why we booked early the day before too, though Maria... I would DIE if that happens in Memphis!!! Actually, we'd go home (only 20 min from airport) and get in the Sub and book it down! But you are right No need in taking chances! I'd rather be there early than not at all!
