Philadelphia: No fire, no flight

I washed my socks and underwear in the Marriott bathtub. Then ironed my delicates in front of CNN and FOX News. Outside the sealed hotel window (fresh air is fast becoming a distant memory after what has now been 15 hours in transit), Philadelphia swims in a bank of cloud and I am holed up in the 'Airport Marriott' for tonight after my flight to Ithaca was cancelled "due to weather conditions." So proclaimeth my ticket voucher for the re-scheduled flight tomorrow morning, 10am.

Sigh.

Two bland pics to annotate my unanticipated foray into Flyer and Cheese Cream terrain:

The monotoned beauty of my Marriott Suite (King-sized bed, btw) . . . .

'Cause, ya know, I always really did want to see this parking lot at Philadelphia's international airport - whadda ya know?

  • Challenge of the Day: No PJs in sight.
  • Bonus of the Day: Unexpected visit to a Marriott in a city I've never been to before.

Here's to making it to Ithaca BEFORE my classes get underway (on Tuesday morn, to be precise). Fingers crossed.

    The weather looks pretty much the same here, (and so do the parking lots). I'm not sure that this Marriott can count compared to some of the others.

    I hope the travels don't wear you out. Here, we have been busy and productive and had Donna over for dinner.

    Missing you! Love,
