Seattle by way of Paris

So many pieces have to work seamlessly to get to a place. You have to arrange transportation.  That transportation has to function correctly.  You have to be in the right place at the right time to make it all work.  And if there’s an airport-threatening weather event at your destination, you may as well hang it up.  You could be having the sunniest day on your street in your neighborhood, but if the place you’re headed is not navigable, just stay home.  

That was the case last night.  We were supposed to be leaving our house at 4am to get to the airport and head out of town, but last night, we got a notification that our flight was cancelled.  No worries, we thought- we’ll just take a different flight.  Except that it was so many flights that were cancelled.  There was terrible weather on the way, and nobody in their right mind would land a passenger airplane there.  

Fair enough.  We can take a hint.  We’ll sleep in.  But first- what about Paris?  Cas’ StepDave had a birthday in February, and we gave him a pair of tickets to a show in Paris, Texas on Pi day.  Today.  March 14.  Well, he loved the idea, and was only disappointed that we couldn’t go along.  So we drove to Paris, bought a second set of tickets to the same show, and are coming to you now, live from the Fairfield Inn.  Life is funny, you know?  Tomorrow, we drive back to Dallas in the morning, grab a different (already packed) bag and hop on the DART Silver Line to DFW Airport.  It will be our first experiment with DART to the airport since the new line came into service.  

Then, it’s on to Seattle, where we hope the weather has begin to calm down and cooperate.  But until then, Bonjour, ya’ll.
