Yesterday morning, I got up at 5:30 to make a 8:40 flight (thru Dallas) to Phoenix. I had a one day training seminar for work. The flight took off on time and everything was going well. Until we started our decent into the Dallas. The turbulence was crazy. We had 3 major drops (it felt like a Roller Coaster) before we pulled up and aborted the landing. I was very very close to tears. The Dallas Airport closed shortly there after and we were sent to Shreveport, LA. Now those who don't know, Shreveport is a very small. So small that we had to sit on the tarmac because 6 other flights were also detoured to this airport and they couldn't accomodate all these planes. So our plane and a couple others couldn't get to the terminal. We sat there for 3 hours when they finally decided to send us back to New Orleans (because the Dallas airport decided to shut down for the remainder of the day) Apparently, Dallas was having major thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and flooding. When we got back to New Orleans, we hoped to reschedule our flight for a later time. No such luck. New Orleans Airport took on 11 flight that were also deverted from Dallas. The place was a mad house. So needless to say I went home (and happy to do so). The positive side is that I got alot of reading done.

Good thing you didn't crash land on a Burmuda Triangle-like island and have to hide from the others all while time traveling and running from polar bears and the black smoke and learning that pregnant women die on the island although some men can miraculously walk after being paralyzed and to think you were being saved, only to find out they are not really on your side....wait sorry, my bad. Can you say obsessed!?
