After a wonderful trip to Mix08 in Vegas (update coming soon), Mr. Harman and myself were to have flown to home last night. However, the White Death didn't allow that, but thankfully Jeff had room for us. So, an extra night in Vegas, and rebooked plane rides for the next morning which would at least get us to Chicago. We left Chicago, with the lovely Mrs. Wingfield providing updates from home, hoping that we had a flight waiting for us at Midway that would take us home.
We got to Midway, I fired up my phone, text message from Wendy: "Your flight has been cancelled." So, a quick call to her with confirmation numbers and a hope that she could get through before we got off the plane. She did, but we had to go to the counter anyway. There our options were presented as: Stay in Chicago until Monday, or go somewhere else and try and get home. As much fun as two nights in Chicago sounded after four days in Vegas, we were ready to come home...so off to Indy!
Once in Indy, we got a rental car (a Grand Prix for you scoring at home) and have made it to a Holiday Inn about 30 miles east of Indianapolis. The hope is tomorrow the snow is cleared off I-70 and we can get back to Columbus.
If not, we have our very own version of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles..."THOSE AREN'T TWO PILLOWS!!!"
UPDATE: Tim and Steve's excellent adventure came to an end yesterday (Sunday the 10th) around noon. We made the drive in from Indy pretty easily. There were a number of cars in the ditch, mostly four wheel drives. Theory was the driver thought he/she was invincible and learned four wheel drive does not mean four wheel stop. The hairiest part of the journey was navigating German Village streets.
