In light of that comment, and my latest adventure, I decided to go back and review some of my flights over the last four years. I certainly have had m-o-r-e than my share of hassles.
Returning from Texas last June, I missed my connection, due to sitting on the tarmac in Chicago for an hour. The plane that is, with me in it. So, I was stuck in Montreal for seven hours.
Upon returning from Spain, I found out my connecting flight home was cancelled due to bad weather. I was stuck TWO days then. Where? Where else? Montreal.
Returning from Edmonton one Christmas, the plane circled an hour overhead, waiting for the ceiling to lift. If we hadn't been able to land, I would have ended up in Sept Îles for heaven's sake. I guess there wouldn't have been enough fuel to get back to Montreal. LOL
My recent return flight coming back from Edmonton, was cancelled, again due to bad weather. In September! Not wanting to spend another 24 hours plus in MONTREAL (you guessed it!), I got myself re-booked to the nearest airport, more than a two and a half hour drive away.
I am thinking the only reason I made it home from Costa Rica in March, is because Hermanita, my little sister, was with me. As it were, we had sat an hour on the tarmac in San José, while they fixed the air conditioning. So we had less than an hour to go through customs and security, and make our connection. It was an AMAZING RACE dash. Had I been alone, dollars to donuts, I would have gotten stuck in M-O-N-T-R-E-A-L, AGAIN!!!
I seem to have all my problems on the inbound, and NOT the outbound. I can get OUT OF DODGE, fairly well, but I have THE HARDEST time getting BACK. Is there a message in there for me?
I know... I know! Stop trying to get home to an airport without radar. That is to say... BATHURST, NB.
Hazards of travelling Lovely Lady. Just fly to and from Moncton. I will see that you get home. HAPPY TRAILS. A Roy Rogers song.
