Day 1 of the trip was dreadful. The airlines decided to just start canceling flights and this created chaos, as you can imagine. Add to this a massive weather front that hit the Eastern US and you have a whole lot of stuck travelers. It is also interesting when the airlines think you are in Ohio when you are actually in Atlanta at their customer service desk. Hmmm, makes it tricky to catch a plane you are already late for, but has been mercifully delayed. Get on it and then wait for the pilots for 40 minutes. Yes it was fun times. I even managed to break my good long lens a costly problem, when my camera bag strap broke in the airport.
