Merry Christmas to all. I am at my sister's in Iowa after an unplanned night in Minneapolis area. Flight through Memphis was canceled due to weather. Rerouted through Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. Flight from Minneapolis was canceled due to mechanical reasons. Weather in both Minneapolis and Des Moines was frigid but clear--no snow. Northwest gave me a voucher for a night at the Days Inn, Eagen and meal vouchers at the airport and overnight kit with deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrush. Wouldn't retrieve our suitcases so mine went on to Iowa ahead of me. I could have left at nine the next morning for Milwaukee and arrived at Des Moines about 1230 but didn't want to risk getting stuck in Wisconsin so I asked for a direct flight later in the day. Was confirmed for a seat at 5:00 PM getting into Des Moines at 6:02 PM but managed to get standby on an earlier direct flight at 1:11 PM and was in Des Moines about 2:30 Pm December 23rd. My youngest nephew was supposed to arrive the 23rd and got into Des Moines about 4:30 AM Christmas morning (he was flying from Florida through Atlanta and Cincinnati). Long food lines at Cincinnati Airport, hotels full, miserable for travel.
Minneapolis was 7 degrees below zero the morning I left with a wind chill of 20 below. Des Moines not much warmer but today it got to about 36 above.
Love to all,
wow
