What happens in Vegas...

Of course, it can only stay in Vegas if you actually make it there. And on the day of my departure this past February, winter weather advisory number 702 called for rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, and 50 mile per hour winds. (Less a winter weather advisory than an end-of-days one it seemed. But I digress.) Flights from the regional airport to the major one were canceled one-by-one, leaving me wondering if I might actually fly that day or not. Fortunately, for once the travel gods smiled and the airline agreed that I could drive the 80-odd miles to DTW and forget about the connector. A good thing, too, because ultimately my flight was delayed such that I never would have made the connection.
