Stranded in S Florida How bad was it?
Talking to our daughter yesterday I mentioned how she was going to see
less paxengers on this cruise with the storm. (Crown P first port of call is Caymans and that is one expensive last minute ticket) What I didn't think of until this am is how bad it must have been for people trying to find hotel space while waiting for flights back to DC Philly etc. Anyone know how bad it was? I know that when Superbowl hits in Miami the rack rates kick in and those are quite ridiculous. Joseph Coulter Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations www.josephcoulter.com |

Joseph Coulter Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations www.josephcoulter.com As we all know by now, the NYC Metro area hardly got a dusting at Newark Liberty. Folks could have diverted there if their flights to Philly were canceled and then train or rental car the next day. By Saturday afternoon there was no snow in the NYC area and most highways going down to Philly were clear. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M.

By Saturday afternoon there was no snow in the NYC area and most highways going down to Philly were clear. The world doesn't revolve around NYC. The flights to the mid Atlantic were cancelled and not diverted. My wife was supposed to fly from ATL to BWI Sunday and got back late Monday afternoon. She would have gotten back late at night with the flight she was assigned. Monday morning I checked the DL website and found a flight that didn't show up as an alternative but was available for booking as a new reservation. I called and woke her up. She called DL and got on that flight. Fortunately she was visiting her mother so it wasn't that disruptive. |
