The plan was to fly from Atlanta to LaGuardia and then to Manchester to NH. Here is what happened.
1. flight delayed an hour
2. Got on plane and then told delay would continue because of bad weather in LaGuardia. I think we sat on plane about an hour but I forget.
3. We circle LaGuardia but can't land because they are so backed up due to weather problems and we start to run out of fuel so we head to Baltimore (BWI)
4. On the way to BWI we have a plane problem which is worked on in Baltimore (another hour I think)
5. Head to LaGuardia again but the autopilot goes crazy when we try to land and the pilot says he is not comfortable trying to land in these weather conditions without autopilot (low visibility due to storm and fog). So we fly to Harrisburg PA and land. It's about 1 am at this point and nobody knows what is going on.
6. We sleep on the floor next to claim #4 baggage claim for a couple hours (about 3:30 am to 5). I am freezing and get almost no sleep.
7. In the morning most people opt to take a bus back to LaGuardia at 9 am instead of getting on our "fixed" plane at noon. I manage to take some totally different flights and reroute to new end point.
8. Fly to Detroit around noon?
9. Fly to Albany NY
10. Rent car and drive to Wallingford VT.
The trip took 2 days! I was so exhausted. But man did that Scotch with Diane's dad taste so good when I got there!
