2 Shows Cancelled this weekend

Friday was a complete nightmare, especially for Jen & Wilson. We were suppose to be in Dobson, NC on Friday and in Charlotte, NC. Circumstances beyond our control prevented that from happening.

Friday, 3:30 AM Jen & Wilson leave Hamilton, Ontario for the Buffalo airport. (This will be their 3rd attempt this week trying to catch a flight back to Atlanta) PS...(NEVER EVER, EVER FLY STAND BY).

They arrive in time for their 7am flight and get settle on the plane for the 45 min flight to Cleveland. As the plane taxi's on the run-way, the Pilot announces "we are 3rd for take" shortly after that, the pilot makes an announcement (we have to go back to the jet way because our 2nd ENGINE is NOT WORKING!)

The engine problem is corrected and they make it to Cleveland 2 hours late for their connection.

side note:
this happens to be the same day that the winter storm is hitting the northeast causing major delays at the NYC airports and several flight cancellations. So most flights going into Newark are now being diverted to CLEVELAND.

again....NEVER EVER FLY ON A STAND BY TICKET

There are several flights going to Atlanta that day, but with so many passengers coming in with cancelled flights, they are given priority over STAND BY PASSENGERS.

Remember Jen & Wilson have been in Cleveland since about 10 AM, up since 3:30AM.

At about 2 PM after not being able to get on 3 other flights, the agent tells her she is not getting out of Cleveland today and should make other plans.

So for the next 2 hours we are looking at all options to get her & Wilson home, but there just aren't any flights, except one flight leaving out of Akron, OH (40 miles south of Cleveland). If we could just get them on the shuttle they could take this flight. Well the shuttle doesn't leave ClE until 30 minutes before the flight and it's a good 60min drive, without rush hour traffic.

As I'm calling to give Jen the bad news, she is calling me to tell me that somehow a seat has opened up on the 4:00 flight and she has to go NOW! And for me to head to the Alanta airport!

And so sure enough, after a 1 hour delay, they arrive in Atlanta at about 7pm, about the time the music is suppose to start at the Wolfs Lair Winery.

After 2 days of rest, Jen & baby are fully recovered.

AGAIN, NEVER EVER, EVER FLY ON A STAND BY TICKET
