Arrived in Erie

[dagibbs]

So, the joy of going from one small town with limited air service to one podunk-small town with limited air service -- flight time: about 2 hours on 2 legs. Wait time in Detroit: 3.5 hours between flights. (Plus, of course, the 2 hours for international clearing and stuff in Ottawa. At least Erie is small enough that the luggage came quickly.) Mostly smooth trip, only a minor hiccough in Detroit, where they couldn't get power to the jetway to pull it back from the plane, delaying us a few minutes (maybe 10). And, we got the joy of being told it was "being maintenanced". How's that for a corruption of the english language?
