Made it to Houston...

Pick up this morning was a bit late, so got to the airport barely 1.5 hours before the flight. We finally cleared security and customs just as the flight started boarding -- apparently Saturday morning of March break is a crowded time at the airport.

We had a 5 hour stop-over in Washington DC, which had free wifi -- of course it was so slow that it felt like dial-up. Even the google home page took a noticeably long time to load. Gah.

I'm now in the United lounge in Houston. We got in about 40 minutes early, and our flight is about 10-15 minutes delayed departing, so we've got a bit of time here. Not as much as Washington, but at least the lounge has decent wireless.

... and only to Houston

We got bumped from our flight to Monterrey, so we're stuck overnight in Houston. There were something like 6-8 of us bumped from the flight.

And the 9pm flight, 8am flight, and 2pm flights were all, also, booked full. So we're on the next 6pm flight tomorrow. That's one wasted day of vacation. (Maybe this is our unplanned bivy for the trip?)

P.S. markbhall or kgkofmel, if you're up for lunch tomorrow, drop me an email or comment here.
