Wednesday Travel: Fun, Fun, Fun
This was going to be a long two days anyway, but I got thrown just a slight curve when I got here to the Jackson-Evers International Airport about 15 minutes ago.
For starters, I have a 4:35 p.m. flight from Jackson to Houston Hobby that lands at 5:55 p.m. I have two bags that I have checked that I have to wait for.
I also have an 8:05 p.m. flight from Houston to Kansas City (MCI) this evening for a meeting in the morning with another client. The problem? Well, it is out of George Bush Intercontinental.
There was a 6:35 p.m. flight on Southwest, but I figured that was just cutting it too close. So I booked the Continental flight. I mean I know how fast I can go up Interstate 45 to downtown and then up the Hardy Toll Road. (And dangnabbit, I have a first class seat on the Kansas City flight.)
Well, the 4:35 p.m. flight is now delayed to 5:10 p.m. So ... I called Continental. It seems that the 8:05 p.m. is already delayed ten (10) minutes because of a crew rest issue (which could go longer.) The 9:20-something flight is sold out.
Yeah. Fun with a capital "F". :)
I've been traveling for 14 years, since April 1994, and this gets more interesting as I get older. I'm glad that I'm in pretty good shape, for my body type, that is, to be able to do this.
Stay tuned and see how this all turns out!
Perhaps it was a premonition that the song that I heard on the radio coming to the airport was "I've Been Everywhere".
