Snowed in

My flight back from my vacation was on jetBlue, so I was going to write about their free DirecTV. However, because I was flying to Boston, which got hit by an enormous snowstorm, travelling wasn't exactly the smoothest process.

After five cancelled flights and two terminal/gate changes (including accompanying trips through security), I had a confirmed seat on a 9:15 pm flight. Logan Airport was closed so the flight got delayed until 3:50 am. We had a "fun" sleepover in the airport, boarded the plane at 5 am, sat in the plane, moved the plane to another gate, were allowed to get off the flight for a while, took off at 9 am, arrived in Boston at 12:30 pm, sat on the tarmac for 2 hours, sat in front of a gate for about half an hour (a blackout had rendered many of the jetways immobile), finally got to get off the plane and then waited for the baggage handlers to hand-deliver the luggage (the power outage also broke the luggage carousels).

Anyhoo, didn't have much time to watch the DirecTV until we were parked on the tarmac, but managed to see parts of two episodes of Buffy, including the one where her mother dies, which of course started the sniffles. Anyway, 40 channels of TV is pretty nice although it's a little weird when you aren't familiar with the daytime tv schedule. They definitely need a TV guide channel on there. It would have been much nicer say, yesterday evening where I could have watched prime time TV or the men could have caught the football games.
