Atlanta Lightning

Posted at 9:26 pm MDT to Travel

I got up Friday morning at 6am Boston time, which is 4 am Colorado time. I collapsed into bed at 4am Saturday morning when I finally arrived home. I'm glad I had a couple of the Larabars left: they were all I had to eat (except a few airline pretzels) after I left Boston.

My flight from Boston left on time, but then we spent an hour in a holding pattern because of a spectacular storm over Atlanta that had shut down the airport. The pilot landed us, more or less between the storm clouds, just before lack of fuel would have forced us to divert to Charlotte.

By the time I got into the terminal, my connecting flight to Denver should have already been in the air. I was relieved to see that it had been delayed a bit because of the storm. But it kept being pushed back and pushed back. The flight that was originally supposed to leave at 8:15pm did not leave until 1:15am.

I've spent the rest of the weekend relaxing.
