An odyssey by Homer was never so twisted. First, we get in the wrong line (United), then we figure things out and discover our plane to Boston is a 30 seated puddle jumper twin prop bi-plane! Not only does this thing rattle when it takes off, but it has a stop over in Harrisburg!
We touch down in the Common Wealth’s capital only to find that thunderstorms shut down every leaving flight. Problem is our Aer Lingus plane leaves in 1 & ½ hrs which we can’t possibly make at this point. So Jennifer from US Air (who I’ll push for canonization of saint hood) booked us a flight from Philly which she then put us on a taxi ride from Harrisburg to Philly International. (Enter our insane driver Leonard, which can be saved for a different time)
We get to the Philly terminal, only to (all 3 of us) get pulled over for extensive security searches. We then push 1 mile through Terminal #1 and finally find our US air flight! But wait! It gets further delayed and we wait for another hour before finally getting air-born. A nasty day to be sure, all told 17 hours of our trip were consumed by this day.
