I got to the airport and found out that my plane was delayed.  So I went to the lounge and found it PACKED with people.  Not a good sign.  I found a seat and hung out until boarding at which time they told us that the delay was caused by a technical problem that had been fixed but now there was another technical problem that would cause another 90 minute delay.  Then they announced that the part they needed wouldn't be available until 1:00-2:00 a.m. and the pilots wouldn't or couldn't fly at that time.  They cancelled the flight.  I called the emergency travel service and the only help they could give me was to change my hotel reservation.  So much for service.  It took another 90 minutes for them to get our luggage onto a turnstile (even though it was never loaded onto the plane).  They had told us we had to rush to pick it up and then made us wait 90 minutes. 

I guess it's just as well.  I called the airline this morning to change my flight to a non-stop on another airline to still make it to my meeting but within 2 hours my allergies, despite lots of meds, moved to my ears and chest making it inadvisable to fly.  I called and cancelled that flight and all my other obligations.  I'm very disappointed but my eyes are running constantly and I feel like coughing up a lung.

Time to unpack.
