Angela left the little apartment a little after 10:00 this morning. Ana started cleaning and stripping the bed and I started carrying things over including food, towels, bed linens, a memory foam mattress topper and my coffee maker. I know lots of cities are having snow storm problems but Madison and Atlanta were not on the list. Heather called me from the airport saying their flight was 2 hours late and they would miss their connection. She asked me to check from Atlanta to San Jose tomorrow morning. I emailed back that it was full Sunday and Monday. She said the line at the airport was horribly long and remember they are carting 200 pounds of luggage for me besides their carry on. When they finally got to the counter they found there was nothing until Tuesday and Delta was suggesting they wait a week. They contacted their animal sitter who wasn't available from the 2nd until the 14th of Feb. so they asked for a refund and cancelled. While they were waiting for that to be processed a man came to the counter saying my flight was at 1:40 and delayed to 3:48 and now it is leaving at 2:00. That was their flight too. Sure enough, they had moved the flight back up but they were cancelled off it, it was too late to check any luggage and the flight was already completely full. Apparently it had to do with some bad weather in Atlanta and getting landing slots.
So, they went home to see if they could book anything from Chicago tomorrow. Heather found space on United using miles but she had to call to book. When she finally got thru it turned out to be incorrect availability and wasn't actually available. They checked Southwest from Midway but they would have had to spend 2 nights in San Jose. So, they aren't coming for now. They will try later. What a mess.
Tomorrow I will bring everything back from the little apartment. Not a good day for any of us, although I did win 3 out of 5 games of Quiddler tonight.
