SNOW...Disaster strikes...

We’re on the plane, stuck. We’ve been on the plane for about 1 hour and 50 minutes, maybe a little longer. We boarded the plane around 7:00 pm. Our original take off time was 6:51 pm. It started snowing in Omaha around 4:15 or so, and just got worse. We sat on the plane at first waiting to get de-iced. A process that took much longer than expected. Then, when fully de-iced and hopes were up…”Attention ladies and gentleman…we have been grounded for approx 25 minutes as Minneapolis is experiencing snow and cannot handle more incoming planes. Then… about 30 minutes later…”Attention Ladies and gentleman, more good new… we’ve been grounded longer, and we will have to be de-iced again before we can take off. It may appear you might not be in time to reach your connection flights. Our flight from Minneapolis is supposed to leave approx 9:30…so…we’re screwed. What a great way to start our vacation to Vegas..

THe plane had to be de-iced 3 times...they stated they had to have Midwest Express come de-ice our plane cuz theirs was not working properly. THUS, that is why we were delayed, not the friggin snow... what bastards. Approx 11:00 or so our plane finally took off. 5 Hours sitting IN the plane, no food... we were all kinda grumpy. We landed in Minneapolis a little after midnight, and they gave us hotel vouchers thankfully. Now, were in this "LOVELY" cough choke hotel waiting for pizza to be delievered at 1?30 in the morning... haven't eaten since 2:30 the day before. ;)
Wish us luck.. we leave in 6.5 hours for the airport to catch our flight... I'll try and post a picture of our luxurious room later...pizza is here.

I told ya that you should have come to Texas young man. I really hope that the rest of your vacation is a happy one and that by the time you get to Vegas they haven't cancelled your reservations on you to where you have to stay in a whore motel. I don't think you men would like that at all. May you have a happy time on the rest. Love you both.
