Hanging Out on Delayed Flight - Not Fun by taffy

Hanging Out on Delayed Flight - Not Fun

First, thanks so much for your response to the blue hour sunset! It was exciting to see all the wonderful comments and favs. Yes, I feel very fortunate.
Today is a Diary Shot: I headed out early this morning to catch my flights to Santa Barbara to connect with friends for my sailing adventure through the Channel Islands National Park off the California Coast. After a few extra hours on the ground (in the plane pictured, taken from the terminal window when I optimistically thought it would bring good memories!) waiting for an "epic snowstorm" to pass so the Denver airport could re-open. Now am spending several hours in Denver waiting for a new connection, having missed my original. And just got a text saying that flight is delayed. I should sleep well tonight once I finally get there. I join them on the boat, the Denize II, tonight and if the winds are okay, we leave in the morning for the islands. Only intermittent Internet access after tomorrow til I get back to LA.
Enjoy the rest of your trip!

This sort of reminds me of a song ....,I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again !....


In fact not even sure when I'm going yet !!

This is a great airport shot, you should sell it to United Airlines.
October 11th, 2019  
Hope you have a great trip Taffy......when you finally get there!
Flying is great when everything goes well!

It's gotten where flying is so unpredictable even in good weather. Sat on the plane - buckled in - waiting to take off for 1:35 this last leg. But do enjoy when you get there!
October 11th, 2019  
Oh Taffy, how frustrating. Hope you get there tonight and have a great adventure
October 11th, 2019  
Oh my! Hope you are now in CA and all is well. Your sailing adventure sounds so wonderful.

What a horrible start to an exciting holiday. But you have somehow managed to make an airport photo look really good! :)
October 11th, 2019  
Have a great sailing
October 11th, 2019  
good luck -- I'm afraid I've become a pessimist when it comes to delays
October 11th, 2019  
Well, I hope by the time you see this comment you are back from your exciting trip and all the delays were worth it.
October 11th, 2019  
I wish we had known you were stranded in DIA. If you ever need help, we are available. Just need to find a more efficient way to communicate than 365. I hope you made it OK to your boat. I look forward to your pictures.

@khrunner Thanks! That was kind of you to offer. It worked out in the end but was just a very long day.
October 12th, 2019  
Sorry for all your delays. Have a great sailing trip!
October 13th, 2019  
Sorry to hear of your delay but at least you got a good document shot!
October 14th, 2019  
How wonderful to have friends In Sta Barbara! SO MUCH to see and do there...and hardly any chance of snow! Your trip sound exceptional! Nothing like being out on the water!
