Today was an interesting day. I have been planning to travel offshore for some planned work on our offshore platform. All of the company can see Gustav entering the Gulf, but they said head out there and we will make a decision Thursday. Well, the decision to hold off the work happened at 8:58 am. That was 2 minutes prior to my 9 am take off and about 2 minutes after I had turned off my cell phone for the flight to New Orleans. As I was picking up my bag from luggage claim, my colleague was calling to say the trip was off, he too was in N.O. and had already secured a flight home.
I walked to the ticketing desk and had to rearrange my flight. The sweet Southwest attendant asked, did you miss your flight this morning, I said no I took it, that is why I am here. She curiously asked and you want to get back on a plane? Yep that is right I came to NOLA to see the airport for 2 hours then return promptly to the planet Houston. Fun day, but both of my flights were on time, no traffic...it beats sitting in the office all day.
Well, I am home, safe and sound. Now I get to kiss both of my boys goodnight.
