Travel Day From H - E - Double Hockey Sticks

We arrived at the airport in Madison, WI on Sunday only to find out that the flight that 1/2 of us were supposed to be on to Dallas then to Palm Desert had been cancelled. Not delayed but just plain cancelled for technical reasons.

After a half our of trying to fit these 30 people on flights that simply didn't have room they finally decided that if we just drove to Chicago we could probably make a flight to Orange County that evening. Hoping on the bus we watched 'Anchor Man' as we sped to Chicago.

Now, Orange County being 2 1/2 hours from Palm Desert/Palm Springs the airline had to hire us a bus to take us the extra distance. The cherry on top of the day was, after arriving at Orange County air port two hours later than we were supposed to be in palm desert, the airline had sent our bus to LAX instead.

We waited on the side walk an additional hour and 10 minutes for the bus to come. In the meantime I spearheaded the efforts to order a large selection of pizzas that we picked up and ate (on the bus company's tab) on the way out of town.

But alas we made it and the sun is shining and as Anne of Green Gables would say "God's in his heaven, all's right with the world."
