Stopped even before I had started

Didn’t expect to hear from me so early considering I’m taking a bloggy break, huh?  Well, I had a significant change in my itinerary, so I thought I’d update you.

About lunchtime today, it started flurry-ing here in Raleigh (it was hardly snow) which lasted about 45 minutes.  A couple of hours later, my flight in the wee hours Saturday was cancelled due to weather.

This is the 3rd year in a row that my Christmas trip was delayed.  Two years ago, it was a brief tour of Arkansas followed by a night in Atlanta.  Last year was my 48-hour Chicago stay, including waking up Christmas morn to a snowy Chicago.  I’m just hoping not to be posting another post in a day that says “Welcome to Minneapolis!”

I must say, if I have to be delayed, this is the way to go.  Now I can stay home and sleep in, and start my travels fresh.  Hope to have nothing more to report!

Oh, and it did snow further, though it still hasn’t frozen.  They were probably safe by cancelling it tomorrow, and I’m glad they did it earlier rather than later!

Update at 1 AM, Central: Flights went smoothly.  My new flight was to land at 11:37, and I was hoping to pick up my rental car, though they close at midnight.  I made it with 5 minutes to spare.  Added bonus: my bag came, too.  This is definitely not like my past Christmas trips!  So blessed!
