Unplanned stop in Chicago

Catheleen

Dec 28th - The travel Gods are smiling on us this morning...only a slight delay with the hail and freezing rain in Tulsa and we have boarded the flight to Ottawa trying to outrun the winter storm. Got to love travel drama.
An unplanned "bonus round" of our adventure is in play, exotic Chicago for a two night stay...now how fun is that? For dinner tonight I decided to go all out and select the locally sourced beef jerky and gourmet candy canes from the "in room" menu. The boys are having a bro dinner at Le Sheraton restaurant...we are truly living the high life. As the "bonus round" is for only the most seasoned of travellers, we have all dressed in the lightest of clothing and selected the no luggage option. Thank you Winter Storm Goliath and United Airlines.
Dec 30th - OK, stuck now in Toronto, plane doors closed however mechanical issues discovered. We are sitting in the terminal fighting back the tears. In totally unrelated news, Jim has indicated that he will never ever travel again and just wants to go home and pick up the pieces of his shattered life . RIP the Dream? Finally arrived in Ottawa - no place like home!!
