of all the days for NY to have its first snow of the year…
So around 7pm on Christmas Day, I received a text message alert from Southwest Airlines that my flight back to Raleigh on December 26 was canceled.

I may complain about traveling often and all of my flight problems but man sometimes it really is beautiful when you can just sit back and enjoy the ride: (Photo taken on our JetBlue flight from RDU to JFK on Friday, June 4, 2010.) I’m working on a real post for tomorrow. 2 of them [...]

I got halfway through a post on Monday about our canceled JetBlue flight back home from NY on Sunday but decided I’ve had enough of airplane drama posts for the moment.
