On the wings of a Leprachaun: The Miracle of St. Patrick's Day


Our flight to Denver on Saturday was cancelled due to a snow storm. It was especially dissapointing because our first trip had been scheduled for Christmas week and was also canceled due to weather. However, on Saturday morning we received a call from Roz Feinberg saying that some flights had been added back and we should check. At 6:05am I ran into the bedroom to wake Karyn up: "Hurry! Hurry! We have to pack! Our flight may not be cancelled!" We quickly throw some things in a bag and hurry down to the car. We drive to Laguardia and park, expecting to spend a couple of fruitless hours in the airport and then head home. We make it to the counter by about 7:45. The agent tells us that he can put us on a 1:55pm flight, but we may be able to get on standby for a flight that leaves at 8:00. We quickly go through security and sprint for the gate. We get on the flight and are off to Denver. Its the Miracle of St. Patrick's Day...
