Spent 8 fruitless hours at O’Hare today. The snow started coming down just as I boarded the plane. We ended up sitting on the runway for two hours before eventually heading back for refuelling and more de-icing. They told us we could exit the plane for a bit… and then told us it was cancelled. It took me several more hours to determine that all the flights on Saturday were full, cancel my flight, get my checked bag off the plane, book a hotel room, Uber it all the way back the city… and I just discovered my iPad is missing. Pretty sure it’s in the seatback pocket.

UPDATE: United just called – they found it!! 😍

It’s not the most glamorous way to travel, but it’s warm and there’s wifi… and I’m not fighting the crowds at the airport. 🚂❄️

Time to put all the travel stress behind me…
