Last night my flight home took off from Dallas and an hour into the flight had to turn around and go back to Dallas due to a maintenance issue. The crew was at its duty limit so the flight delayed until this morning. Fortunately, my hotel room was booked through the weekend so I was able to head back there, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep.
We are boarding (again) right now. Fingers crossed all goes well this time. I don't wish to set a record for most times one flight returns to the gate. 😃
Today is Derby Day! I'm not sure how much of the race I'll be able to see, as I'm helping a friend return her computer to Best Buy at 3:00 (the race itself is at about 4:30). But I do have my annual bet going on, and if I win, I will get two Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
