Stranded in the OC

[LeeAnne151]

I have no time to meet up with anyone but wanted to say "hi" to my
Southern CA pond friends.

I'm headed to bed after an exhausting day sitting around in the Atlanta airport. Flights were being cancelled and delayed right and left. It was a mess. My flight to Orange County from Atlanta was delayed due to terrible thunderstorms in Atlanta and I missed my connecting flight home. My boss booked me a room as Delta would not because the delay was from weather and not their fault. The hotel I'm at here is much nicer than the dump of a Hilton at the Atlanta airport where I spent the last five nights.

If there was time I know Annette Mikey and Mike W. would entertain you.  me too

Sorry I missed you LeeAnne.  We spent most of the day down in San Juan Capistrano at an outdoor Shakespeare play.  Didn't get back home until late.  I'm having breakfast first thing in the morning in Seal Beach with some fellow retirees but I imagine you will be catching a plane out of John Wayne back home first thing tomorrow......err, today....

I landed at John Wayne at 8pm and am taking off at 10am so there really wasn't time to meet up with anyone. I sure wish there was.......

I was too tired to even consider doing anything but going to sleep after I got my flight home squared away, checked in to the hotel, ate and popped in here. I was still on Atlanta time so it felt like 2am when I went to bed.

I was thinking of all of you that are so close when I landed. Did anyone see the sunset? It was amazing. At least what I saw out the windows at John Wayne was. Wish I had a camera on my phone.

Well, I'm off to the airport.

So near and yet so far - sorry we missed you. Hope you are rested this morning.

How do you deal with the humidty in Atlanta this time of year? Nasty stuff eh?

Cheers,

Mike

So Close!!!  I would have met up with you if you stayed a bit longer.  I'm only about 20 minutes from John Wayne Airport.  But with all the security these days you really didn't have time.

But next time let us know and the OC AP Brigade will be there with Mike holding a sign!

Mike, The humidity in Atlanta was awful. Worse than last year because there were thunderstorms and rain.
I was mostly indoors working in the gift/merchandise marts but did experience it getting to and from the hotel and MARTA waiting for shuttles etc. outdoors.

Annette, I was only supposed to be at Orange County for an hour and didn't find out I would be spending the night until almost 9pm, otherwise I would have let everyone know in advance. I'm not shy about getting together with forum friends!
