They are closing the boarding doors. Have a drink! #marygoround

Welcome to Newark! We've landed safely. Have a drink!

#marygoround

Oh joy. My flight home to Nashville is cancelled.

#marygoround

While we sit in the tarmac because there's no available gate, maybe I'll see if this nice island we passed over is for sale.

To all the #WorldCon folks on the plane with me. Sorry about this. Probably should have seen me and rebooked.

New followers, to play #marygoround:
1. When my travel goes well, you drink.
2. When it goes poorly, I drink.
(Sip, don't chug. Does not need to be alcohol to play.)

I've been rebooked on another flight! (Point to you.)

Which is delayed. (point to me)
#marygoround

The captain says that we'll be sitting here for another 30 minutes.

That's fine, because my next flight has been further delayed by an hour.

#marygoround

Finally at the gate! Have a drink.

My flight is further delayed. We don't have a plane.

On the plus side, it meant I got to have dinner with @2muchexposition

My plane arrived into the international terminal, and they needed extra time to tow it to our gate because of severe congestion on the tarmac as a result of thunderstorms in Newark.

BUT WE ARE FINALLY BOARDING NOW!

Have a drink. #MaryGoRound

They are closing the boarding doors! See you in Nashville. Have a drink!

#marygoround

Welcome to Nashville! Only 31 hours after my original return time. Have a drink!
