Getting to South Carolina is proving to be challenging. My first flight has been delayed by over 4 hours. Now I can't even get there tonight.
Bummer.
Is there a gecko-man in the air traffic controller, or are delays caused by thunderstorms?Stereodude

Mechanical problems with the plane. Though maybe the lizard people sabotaged it. Now we're going to use a different plane after it lands.

I'm sure. So I'm actually going to make it to South Carolina before dawn. I was originally supposed to be on the 2nd to last flight from Atlanta. The put me on the last one after I wouldn't make the one I was originally booked on. The last one had a 75 minute delay which is the only reason I made it. I will end up getting in about 2.5 hours late. My poor sister will have to pick me up from the airport at 1:45am or so.Some Squamata were involved, no doubt.
Can you take a taxi or the UBER?

Maybe... My sister came and got me though.

My prescription sunglasses are now at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Damn, you are not having much luck lately.
Can you use clip-ons with regular glasses until you get another pair?
Normally I use the strap type eyeglass holders outdoors, but I don't need to wear glasses for distance.

I don't even know why I still try clicking on the links in your posts.
That one is really strange. It opens another tab of the same page. :dunno:

I am very close to getting laser correction done. Losing my current sunglasses would probably be enough.

I got the laser vision about 8 years ago. Still mostly works.

I bought a pair of clip on sunglasses today.
The ones i lost were probably 20 years old, but I used them for driving in my car. I took them to SC with me though.
I had been intending to get better prescription sunglasses like real sun glasses that are prescription instead of tinted lenses in normal glasses frames. However, my general laziness won out. Now i will have to actually do something.

I'm sure Houston will still be there for your next visit despite being "canceled".Houston is canceled. I have to travel to 8 states in the next three weeks.
Not for me. Maybe it is worse than FL.

Houston is going to get wiped from the map by a natural disaster? :eekers:

It looks rather bad today too.
"Houston's George Bush Intercontinental and William P. Hobby airports are closed until further notice, and Corpus Christi International is closed for at least 24 hours"
I would say for flooding we haven't even seen the start of the worst yet. 50" of rain forecast in areas.

On the drive home from my vacation we went from NW Wyoming to central Arizona in a day. 852 miles in 15 hours. Started a 3:20am (2:20am AZ time) and got into Flagstaff at 5:30pm AZ time. First 3 hours in total darkness. Thank God for google map directions on friends iphone.
I still travel with a regular GPS with US/Canada or other area maps installed including topo maps in some cases. Phones are useful in many places, but in some areas off the main highways there is little to no cell reception to provide detailed maps.

Google will now let you cache areas of the map to your device in advance, so it works without service. Still not as good as a dedicated device with updates maps when offline, but much better when online (traffic data, etc).
