Holiday travel

Anyone else sitting on the tarmac right now trying to get to Chicago after their flight was already delayed 6 hours?

no but i hope you made it out!!!!!

We drove to Chicago and have been safely here since Sunday night.

13 hours in a car with a carsick toddler puking every hour wasn't fun though. And then she puked on the puppy once we were here, for good measure!

driving to pittsburgh this afternoon. hope it takes less than 8 hours but i am not holding my breath

My experience driving to Pittsburgh Christmas Eve has never been any worse than driving to Pittsburgh on a normal day.  You'll be fine

Yesterday I drove to upstate New York with a hyperactive 4-year-old, a disgruntled 8-month-old and a highly anxious wife. All was fine until we got past NYC and then it got all end-of-Apocalypse-Now with utter chaos, violence and anarchy in the car. Now we're here and playing in 15-foot-high mounds of snow and all is well until we have to drive back on Saturday. Oh yay.

i lived on the south side before i moved here

i lived there in college.  are you a fan of the white eagle? that was my favorite watering hole in those parts. LOL.

i was all about dee's. towards the end we'd go to the smiling moose, the owner was a friend of a friend

To Guyana's interior, close to the border with Brazil.

I'll be heading to Toronto on Thursday evening.  Yes, flying on Christmas, we did it last year.

  Its funny spending a holiday at a place where people are generally assholes and inconsiderate to everyone around them. The airport almost isnt so bad.

At midnight I realized it soul have been faster driving (that's what we always did growing up). Thankfully my flight did end up getting out. I got in at 2am central.

I've been in upstate NY for two hours now and am already bored.  Next time anyone complains about the lack of good DC shows, just imagine being stuck here…
