We went to the airport today for our 3:30 flight. We got there at 2. I used the computerized kiosk to check in, and the impolite thing told me "You are screwed. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. You're stuck in Pittsburgh for the next two days." So we did the normal thing, we tried to call my parents, they were only a few minutes away, to get them to come back to the airport. But my parents are stuck also, in 1983, when mobile phones did not exist. They have mobile phones, but they don't turn them on. I think maybe they don't know how. So they went all the way home and had to come all the way back to get us. And here we are again, hopefully we'll make it back home on Wednesday. But we can't fly first class and that really sucks.
Enjoy these photos of our 1.2 hours at the airport and other adventures in the wonderful western-east-coast town of pittsburgh.

i enjoyed the low level shock of the ticket counter lady at our equanimous response to being stuck in 'da burgh for two more days. since we were the first, and judging from the crowd behind us, the best humored travelers to get the news, that poor bitch surely had a long day.
