Weather

Well, be careful what you wish for. All day we were bemoaning the fact that we have to leave the Maritimes. Guess what? We're stuck here. We spent the day in Halifax - made it to Pier 21 and the Discovery Centre - and then drove out to the hotel right down the road from the airport. Perfect planning, right?

Because it was so foggy I checked the NWA website and, sure enough, they've already cancelled tomorrow morning's flight to Detroit, presumably because they had to cancel the flight that was due to arrive tonight. There's nothing else scheduled to go out tomorrow so we'll be here until Friday. The hotel is booked for tomorrow night, but luckily we found something else reasonable nearby. The good news is that since we're already into the fifth day of week two for the car it doesn't matter if we keep it until Saturday. The bad news is that nwa.com has a tentative re-book that involves three flights - Halifax to Detroit to Indianapolis to Minneapolis. But, it won't let us re-book on-line, nor can we get through to an agent! Lovely. I actually drove over to the airport, but the NWA person was gone for the night.

In related news, P was supposed to be in a one-credit, two day class, beginning Friday morning. 6YO had a dental appointment for Friday morning. And, the kennel is booked up so we have a friend picking up our dog - thank heavens - for us.

So, to recap, we have this room until noon. If they haven't had enough cancellations - we're fifth on the waiting list - we'll have to check out and move to another hotel. Somewhere in there we have to get confirmations for Friday's flights and hope we don't have another round of bad weather.

Keep your fingers crossed for us. We wanted to stay in Canada, but not under these conditions!
