First things first. I'm super glad to be 'home' despite the ice storm and plane cancellation. I touched down at the Houston airport, knowing there was a chance that my plane would be cancelled, and IT DID.
Wasnt worried.
Stand by for the next plane at 5:30pm
Cancelled.
Still wasnt worried.
Called friend who lives in Houston in case the last plane was cancelled. Good news. I can probably stay with them for a night and follow them back to OK. But, it was a 7-10 hrs drive so I rather take the plane home.
Wait for the last plane (8:45pm) ... to see if it will be on time/cancelled.
6pm.... Wow... The time, 6:25pm, flashed back on the sign to OK. Seems like the 5:30pm plane was cancelled but was later put back on route to OK! Tata! "It's a miracle," said a sit-in pilot.
Therefore, with heavy misgivings, I boarded the plane and by 8 plus, was back safe and sound in OK. Muahahahaha. With my luggages all aboard the plane too! psst...there were many luggages missing coz of the many plane cancellation throughout the day.
Never knew how LUCKY i was until I realized that a friend was stranded at some other airport for 2 days and could only get back on Monday. Another friend had to delay leaving from OK on monday(despite the better conditions) and had to rearrange all his flight plans again. Other people couldnt even come back till monday which was surprising since i came back on sunday. You would have thought that the planes to OK from all over US would have been given the clear signal to travel but NOOOOO...... whatever!
Im back! :)
