We're on the road! Had an interesting morning. Called to schedule a taxi, but due to the snow piling up in massive quantities, they couldn't guarantee they could pick me up in time. Called Capitaland Taxi and they were here in ten minutes! Got to Tim's house (Cindy's husband) and headed to the airport - with 25 pieces of luggage!! We're now on a shuttle bus with all 7 of us: Nana and Miranda, med students at Albany Medical College; Mark and John, Albany Med OR employees; Hilary, a PR person from Sawchuck Brown; and Mary, an OT/Special Ed teacher. The snow is insane! Our driver, Wally, is zipping past 18-wheelers like a madman. The old lady in the front of the bus is looking like she's about to pee her pants, poor dear. Go Wally, Go! We need to catch our flight! There he goes again....he's stopping to "broom" the windshield. This is crazy out here.

Oh, Wally. Why oh why are we in Paramus? Does this look like the most straightforward approach to JFK? We think not. It is now 3:16 PM.
We're on the plane! 5:30 PM.
We're still on the plane...
Waiting for deicing....
We're still on the plane...
Problem with the conveyor belt...
We're still on the plane...
Fourth in line for deicing...
Take off!!! It's 10 PM.
Finally ate at 11:30 PM
