So Darren left the house at 0430 (mountain time) for the airport yesterday. He gets to the airport, and his flight to Chicago is delayed. So he sits around and waits and waits. Finally gets to Chicago, but because of the delay, he missed his connection.
I get two phone calls. One is when he lands in Chicago, the other is 3-5 hours later. Apparently there are thunderstorms in New York so he has been sitting in the plane on the tarmac for three hours waiting for his flight to leave.
More waiting, waiting, and even more waiting. Eventually Darren DOES make it to New York... at 2300 (mountain time), 0100 (NY time). He calls, says he will call me in the morning. I talked to him this morning and it turns out that, because of the storms, all the planes got in fairly close to each other and the wait for a cab was an hour and a half. So Darren made it to his hotel at 0300AM (NY time) and had to go to Orientation this morning for 0700. Yay for 2.5-3 hours of sleep.
So needless to say, airplanes are the devil.
Also, apparently Astoria is not the nicest place on the planet to be. Le sigh.
I will try and update anytime something exciting happens, otherwise probably every Friday.
