Dave Edwards and It’s Just my Take 9-15-23
Flight delays happen. I get that. But, what does one do when a 4-hour layover becomes 9 to 10 hours?
On our attempt to get home from my recent vacation with my wife, we got stuck in the Baltimore airport. Bad weather hit the East coast and our flight was delayed. Multiple times. We went from a 5:45 pm departure to 7 to 8:30 to 11 to….umm, we’ll get back to you! Luckily, the plane we were waiting on arrived, a flight crew was ready, and two flight attendants agreed to work a few extra hours and get us home. Liftoff at 11:20pm EST.
Aside from rolling up a bar bill that would impress Foster Brooks, we watched two or three or four bad football games, talked to numerous people in the adjacent barstools and learned their life stories, and, developed numbness in our backsides from said barstools.
We left for the airport down south at 8:20a….arrived in our driveway at 2:13a. I do not envy those who travel a ton for their jobs. Days like those might make me want to live in a cave.
