Christmas Travel

I'm at the airport in Denver right now participating in the Christmas travel conundrums. It has been snowing all day, from light to heavy. After spending an absolutely wonderful Christmas in Monument with Molly and Ben and Ben's family, Marc delivered me back to the airport about 4 this afternoon for what should have been a 5 PM flight. We were already aware that the time was delayed until 6:25, but left at 2:30 anyway as we were unsure of traffic and snow. The drive to the airport took twice as long as usual, and it probably took longer for Marc to get back home. He even told me to call if my flight was canceled and he would come back and get me. And he would!!! But there is not way I would ask him to make that drive again..and in the dark!!

I have had an enjoyable time here at the airport with the other delayed passengers. I have been visiting with a lady who is here to see her mother-in-law, who is 83, off to visit her daughter in Kansas City. I told them I was a long term care nurse and the elderly lady said she hoped she would never have to meet me again!!!

We are watching the snow ploughs on the runways. They seem to think we will actually leave at 6:45 and the plane is now arriving at the gate.....so I guess I will sign off for now.
