They just don't want to go home...

We had a great day with Steph and Dan yesterday.  I didn't want them to leave.  United Airlines granted me my wish.

We could see that their flight out of Brownsville was going to be late.  Not late enough to be a problem, but cutting it as close as you'd like in Dallas.  Driving to the Brownsville Airport, checking the flight app, the delay time lengthened... to the point that, when we got to the airport, they knew they couldn't make their Dallas connection.  The last flight out that night.

So, fun options: get a hotel room in Dallas and get the next flight out tomorrow.  The first flight with two open seats was tomorrow night.  Spend the night in the Dallas Airport and hope to catch an earlier flight.  The woman on the phone for United Customer Service was mostly indifferent.

We went into the airport and a nice guy at the United counter looked around and found them flights out in the morning... out of another airport an hour and a half away.  With plenty of time to make a connecting flight.

Back to the coast for another night.

Before changing the flights, we joked that Mother Nature was cutting them some slack - the weather was going to turn crappy AFTER they left.  Well... a norther blew in during the night, dropping the temps about 20º, with a cold north wind.  Close.

Off to "the Valley."
