I had an American Airlines flight on December 23 to San Diego. When I got to the airport, I was told that my flight was canceled due to bad weather in Chicago, where I was due to lay over. I had been put on a flight for the following morning, Christmas Eve. There were no available flights that day, even with any of American's partners. My only chance was with Jet Blue - not a partner, but I was welcome to go to their ticket counter and see about getting on their 6pm flight. Jet Blue to the rescue! With a manager's special help (the flight was sort of sold out), I was able to book the tickets, and even purchasing them day-of, it was cheaper than American had been. Jet Blue doesn't charge for your first checked bag, and my flights, there and back, were nonstop. Plus, the Jet Blue people were much friendlier. I'm a new Jet Blue fan! I got a refund on my previous tickets, and never looked back. I did, however, have to spend most of the day in the airport, so I had a nice long lunch at Legal Seafoods and a pedicure. See the snow on the runway?
After such a long travel day, I was glad to get home.
Check out the line at Honey Baked Hams on Christmas Eve!

My dad got the flu, but we were able to go out to La Jolla Cove when he was on the mend. Unfortunately, my stepmom got the flu next, and is still sick - feel better soon Mom!
It snowed in Boston while I was away.
