Seattle or Bust

A couple trips to Logan International Airport, a short time relaxing on the runway and we are still in Newport! UGH! I will never ever second guess the weather report again, this is just crazy. We thought we did everything right. We were so nervous about driving in the snow that we left work early on Friday and hurried up to Boston and arrived just a few minutes before the snow stated. Then we checked in for our 6pm flight to Boston and happily hung out in our terminal. 8 hours later we were still in our terminal. At around 10:30 we finally boarded our plane, got settled in, went through the emergency procedures, taxied out to the runway, de-iced the plane and then just after 11pm our flight got cancelled. Apparently our flight crew maxed out the amount of time they were allowed to fly in a 24 hour period. So the pilot turned us around and drove us back to our gate. Annoyed but not beaten, we drove through the snow back to Newport to decide what we should do next.

Flash forward to the next morning. We woke up, grabbed our computer and immediately booked another flight to Seattle. We reloaded the car and headed back to Boston. We were Coyers on a mission. Ten minutes after we got in line to check in, we were alerted that Seattle had closed their airport due to another storm and that our flight was cancelled. No flights were going to Seattle that day. UGH! This time, completely beaten, we gave up. We got back in our car and headed back in the snow to Newport.

We are so bummed. We had so many plans with Todd's family. I guess we will have to wait for another time, it just wasn't meant to be. :( ::sighs::

Very hopeful on the way to Boston

Defeated on the way home. :(
