Stuck in Detroit

Okay, here I am in Detroit airport, standed by an electric storm in DC.

At the moment the whole situation is pretty funny -- hopefully I end up in a hotel tonight and getting out tomorrow so it remains so.

Here's what we did:

1) We boarded. 2) They announced we were delayed due to rain in DC. 3) The delay was extended. 4) We were told the flight was postponed until tomorrow morning and got off the plane. 5) We were told the flight was back on and everyone (but me) reload. 6) The flight was cancelled and everyone got off. 7) Now, everyone's in line getting rebooked and hotel vouchers.

Of course, I was sitting and working so didn't get in line to get a good spot and so am still not in line because I'd be at the end anyway -- might as well wait where I can do some work (though not sure this would qualify as such).

I wonder if there's any great tourist attractions in Detroit....

David,

Hello. I've now joined my first ever blog!

Anyway, there's a nice breakfast joint near Gate 36 at the airport ;-)

Safe travels,

Best,
Brian

You could go to a Tiger's game, or maybe check out the Stroh's brewery. And there's always Canada!

Thanks for the suggestions -- I looked for the breakfast place at Gate 36 on my way past as I was running for the gate. If it's there, I'll have to catch it next time I get stuck in Detroit for 18 hours.

The game, the brewery, canada -- all good suggestions.

I, of course, did none of them.

Another thing for my next 18 hour hold-over.
