CID was socked in this morning with fog, so we’re going to try again this evening. United only has two flights a day from Chicago to Cancun, and the latest is at 10:15 a.m., so there’s no way we would’ve made it. We’re just hoping there’s no fog in Chicago tomorrow morning for the flight out.
In other news, R and K took the bus from Madison to Chicago to catch their afternoon flight to Cancun on American today. But of course they arrived to find everything pushed back or canceled. So they got themselves a room at the same hotel we’re staying in tonight, which’ll be just like our vacation starting in Chicago…without the warmth, water, or beaches of Mexico. This trip is getting shorter all the time. Had everything gone according to plan this morning, we’d be out over the Gulf of Mexico somewhere right now with an hour to go until we touch down. As it stands, we’ll be getting to Cancun about 23 hours from now, FSM willing.
