Going on Trip

I have to go on a business trip to Miami. Thing is I leave at 2:30pm CST tomorrow and Chicago is getting SLAMMED with a snow storm. I hope nothing is canceled. If all goes as planned I will be back late Wed night. Myself and a coworker are going to see a MAJOR fast food chain for their business! I broke past all their people and got to the right person over the phone and I got invited.

Dude. You're flying out of Chicago. It doesn't matter if the birds are chirping, the wind is calm and the sky is rated Severe Clear. Flights will be canceled.

Chicago is the most miserable city to fly in to/out of/through.

The trip I'm on now, I paid $200 extra to fly through Detroit. Money well spent.

My last (and I mean last) trip through O'Hare netted me 5 hours on the tarmac waiting for a departure clearance, after a 2 hour delay to land (flying in circles over lake Michigan). Never will I fly United or through O'Hare again.

I'll rent a f****ng plane and fly myself first.


(Good luck on the business end of the trip, though! Get out early enough to counter the sure delays of that s**t hole of an airport.)

Yeah its not the most efficient plane station is it? Thanks though for the well wishes!

fyi

Damn that was funny!

I am happy to stay home for a little while. I have been traveling a lot for the company lately and am tired of expense reports. Just last week they FINALLY gave me my own company debit card. Makes things SOOO much easier. I think it's about time for the company cell too. Boss has basically said when ever I decided it was time and I was taking too many calls on my personal phone.. Since my wife got a blackberry and we had to change the plan we do not have near as many anytime minutes so i have to be careful when I am on the road... yup.. i think it's time... now I gotta talk him into a blackberry....

not a fan of the blackberry. bad phone, but yes... i can get and send email. internet function is fine in a pinch.

Have a great trip and don't drink the local water! Unless you are use to the local bugs in the water, you "May" get the "Runs"... Drink bottled water, pop, and hot drinks that have been boiled, like coffee or tea.

In general, have a good time and feel sorry for those in cold places while you get a drink with a little umbrella in it....
