Never made it. Returned from Newark Airport 12 hours after I'd left this morning. We were even out on the tarmac for 2 hours at one point. So close to take off.
Was going to my cousin's wedding on the Isle of Palms in South Carolina. There's something about the Carolinas b/c the last time I went (2002) the plane literally turned around one hour into the flight (halfway!). It was like the Marx Brothers. "We-a gotta half-a way there, we ran outta gas, and we hadda go back." They never explained what happened, other than some technical failure but they did get us on a later flight at least. Only option with this one was to take a flight this afternoon. As my dad put it, I'd be lucky if I got there in time to catch my return flight.
Sounds like travel hell! Where were you going, Rachel? Is the trip completely off? I'm sorry.
