So far away … yet so near

Stuck at Jfk … Delta blows!

Update: A 6:45 pm flight to Austin boards … around 7. Sits on tarmac. Diesel spills everywhere. Cleanup crews with whirly orange lights are called. Cleanup begins. We de-board (never a good sign) around 7:30. We sit. And we sit. And we sit. And around 9:30, the news comes:

Cancelled.

With nothing that's not standby until Sunday. Sunday!

So I get to do it all over again next Thursday. At least I got a free cab voucher home (gratuity not included).

In the words of Bart Simpson, I did not know something could both suck and blow at the same time. Hello, Delta.
