Christmas Adventures

So let me describe the original Christmas plan: Liz drives Nikki, Tricia, and Jenny to the airport on Friday evening. We get on Horizon's flight to Redding that leaves at 8:55 pm and arrive in Redding at 10:50 pm, get picked up by my cousin Stacy and driven the 45 minutes to Gerber. That was the plan, anyway.

The Liz to the airport part went extremely well. We even had enough time to stop at Islands for Happy Hour and two Mai Tais. We were all pleasantly alcoholated as we went through security line and got out seats somewhat close together. We even got to pull Tricia out of the long line and checked her bag through customer service.

We weren't too bothered that our flight had been delayed by an hour and half. We went into the bar, grabbed a table, more drinks, and Nikki even pulled out a bag of cookies. After an hour or so in the bar, we headed off to the terminal and played a game of hearts (which I was very close to winning,) when they announced that Flight 2304 had been canceled. Yes. Canceled.
