Virginia Log 5 (I Think) - Guess Where I'm Not!

Yesterday was a lovely day. we headed out to see Monticello inthe afternoon, and it was really neat. I'm not the biggest Jefferson fan politically, but he is still a very interesting person. Afterward, we headed in to Charlottesville, which is a lovely university town with culture, and had a snack of pita, hummus, nuts, dried fruits and tea at a hookah bar in the pedestrian mall, before coming home, making hot buttered rum, roasted duck with raspberry wine for (late) diner, and finishing up the last of I Claudius. Good times, good peeps, etc.

I was *supposed* to come home today, but alas, we didn't properly account for traffic and weather, and, because the flights were so overbooked, they had already re-sold my ticket when I got to the airport at 9 for my 9:31 flight. *sigh*

I am really *really* lucky that they were able to find me a flight out even *tomorrow*. So now I'm not getting home until 7:45 PM tomorrow. Argh. I'm trying to make arrangements for Jola and to get home for Houston, but I can't get ahold of anyone ;_;

Moral of the Story, never fly though North Carolina. Apparently, the lovely Charlotte airport is a curse for me.

ETA: Have found someone (yay Cheryl!) to take care of J. Now I just need to figure how to get back from Houston.

ETA2: Drive secured. Phew!

All those "hub" airports are bad. I think that Atlanta is the worst, though. It is good to hear that you are getting back. You still have quite some time before classes start back, don't you?
