Planes, Trains and Automobiles

As I mentioned previously, Kate & I were in Florida for a few days the other week. The day we were scheduled to leave, however, the weather in the Northeast was not quite cooperating. Continental canceled all their flights to Newark, and booked us on a flight back late the next night. This was odd, because plenty of flights were happily landing in Newark, but we never got the story. We decided we had to get out of there.

The solution? Car to the airport, fly to Philadelphia, cab to the train station and take the train home. It took 10 hours with flight delays, but we did make it home that night. That's one thing I really like about living in the Northeast - plenty of affordable transportation options.
