Travel update

At last edit Doug, Meggie, Jonathan and Steven had flights. Doug was on a plane, Meggie was about to get on a plane, leaving the 6 remaining to figure it all out. The good news is we all fly out tomorrow at some point. The not so great news is that some of us don't get to go home tomorrow. Seriously.

Debbie will leave tomorrow evening for a direct flight to SJ, sitting pretty in first class. Ironically Debbie will arrive soon after Jonathan who arrives about an hour after Steven, thus their family will reunite in SJ to drive home together.

Gail and Brittany leave on the same plane tomorrow bound for (drum roll time again) Phoenix! Lee follows a few hours later and they will all reunite in Phoenix for an overnight stay. It couldn't be somewhere more exciting like Las Vegas or even Reno where we could stay with family, no it's Phoenix. Sigh. Their adventure will continue in the morning bound for SJ.

In the meantime the remaining 6 are holed up at the Hilton in Houston courtesy of Continental, after having dinner courtesy of Continental. Breakfast and lunch tomorrow will be courtesy of Continental as well. Thank you very much.

We give props to the fabulous Customer Care Representative at Continental who worked diligently to get us all home...she even changed Debbies ticket at the last minute when a seat opened on a direct flight. Three cheers for our hero! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Unfortunately, one fabulous employee does not make up for some pretty bad mismanagement at a higher level. I'm pretty sure they just lost 8 customers.
