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.

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.

Yesterday I drove to upstate New York ...
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...

I walked 8 blocks up to V Street and back last night... no major problems..
Today we walked to Georgetown for a nice late lunch at Fino...very good sidewalk conditions....
-
I drove from downtown DC to Chevy Chase yesterday. There was light-to-moderate flow.

On Christmas Eve, Smackette and I took a nice drive down the coast to get from SF to The OC - Big Blue always puts me in a good place. Little rain, little traffic, about 8 hours total.
We spent Xmas in Anaheim, then drove to Laguna where I took this picture from the bar where I was buying a drink for Julie Cooper-Nichol-Cooper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Cooper), who, as it turns out, lives down the street. She's pretty hot for almost 40, and her voice is super sexy.

spent Dec 23 not flying from ottawa to seattle, a non-process that took almost 5 hours. had to spend another night with the sister. spent Dec 24 getting as far as vancouver, at which point we took a bus to seattle. the west coast got the most snow they've ever seen. hilarity on the streets ensued. got out fine yesterday.
-
I took my bike to work today because it was warmish. Traffic remained light and the lights seemed unusually optimal, shaving a couple of minutes off my trip.
-

-

After rushing around all Christmas Eve in crazy traffic and loads of rude people, while I suffered with a mean backache working it's way up to a nasty headache while trying to get everything done by Christmas day, I ended up waking up to some kind of intestinal blerg humbug that's going around. Completely destroyed my whole Christmas and I ended up spending the entire day and night sick in bed (or on the sofa).
Happy to say that all trips along the hallway between the sofa and the bathroom were met without incident.
