Snow go

I had another aborted attempt in trying to get to New York this morning. At least this time my flight was cancelled even before I had thought about packing last night. A fortnight ago I had to spend 3 hours at Bermuda airport where there is nothing to do except get progressively more annoyed at American Airlines’ incompetence.

While the cynic in me thinks American Airlines just didn’t want to fly a two-thirds empty flight and would rather save the fuel, the official reason was the weather, and to be fair the Big Apple is getting hit pretty hard this morning with a snowfall of upto 14 inches expected – bigger than the dump they got two weeks ago.

Talking of snow, we are hoping for lots of it next week in Colorado as we head out for our annual skiing trip. We will be at Beaver Creek again, close to Vail.

We are overnighting in Miami on the way, avoiding completely the winter weather of the north-east of the United States. Then on Sunday we’ll make the journey to Eagle where hopefully us and more importantly American Airlines will be better prepared for the snow.
