LONG TRIP


My plane to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania was cancelled yesterday because the Newark, NJ airport, where I was to get a connecting flight, was closed due to snowstorm.  I waited on line in Portland at the airport for three hours to find out that all flights to Newark were cancelled.  The meeting I was heading to began at 4:00 pm on Friday.

So I jumped in a cab and went to Portland bus station where I caught a bus to Boston.  Then I took a bus to New York city and another bus to Wilkes-Barre.  I arrived just after midnight.  About a 19-hour trip.

The meeting is ready to resume this morning and will last til mid-day on Sunday.  Then I will try to fly home and hope that it works out.
