I must stop this whole thing!
-The Grinch
The weather gods are against me! I fly out to London tomorrow and currently the snow is inches deep and still falling in my western city. And through Minnesota too! Every ten seconds I look out the windows at the ever rising white stuff and have to make a conscious effort not to gnaw my nails down to the knuckles as I envision being trapped in Minneapolis with nothing but moose and my thwarted rage for company on Christmas Day.
I have a suitcase full of presents, it’s my younger brother’s birthday on the 27th, I haven’t seen the other brother in over a year, my little sister is getting bigger all the time and the next time I see her she’ll be 12, I want to sing carols at the top of my lungs while my mom and I cook Roast Beast, and I want my dog!
Why why WHY must the fates ally against me? Every year I go through this panic. Freshman year I was caught in D.C. for a night due to a broken down plane, another year there was a near miss flying out of NY. This year I’m cutting it very close by flying in on Christmas Eve.
On a more positive note, the snow is slowing and they are closing the university early so I can finish packing before heading up to Fairy’s house to spend the night. Fingers crossed for good travel, best of luck to all and to all a goodnight!

Ew! Good luck and I’ll keep praying for all travelers. The university closing down really threw me for a loop. I didn’t know that they did that!
In the past, I have been stuck several times in Chicago and Denver. I hate layovers and flying in general, but during Christmas Break, it’s SO MUCH WORSE!!!!
Good luck and Happy Christmas as they say where you’ll be!
Merry Christmas! http://www.weather.com/outlook/driving/interstate/local/USCA0900?lswe=poway
So, I guess you don’t like the fiasco of traveling quite like I do. I LOVE getting stuck in airports. Seriously, I do. I don’t know why but it’s just fun for me. For your sake though, I hope everything works out and you get to England without further ado. I’m in Colorado right now, but I’m headed up to Washington state on Christmas… so I’ve got big travel plans as well. Best of luck.
I certainly hope that you got home safe!! My family and I won’t be celerating Christmas until the 26th because I can’t get home until Christmas night! Dang snow. But Merry Christmas anyway, and enjoy beautiful England!
Did you make it to England??????? (I didn’t have any texts from you saying that you got stuck in Minnesota, so I’m really hoping you got there ok.) MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
