6/19: delayed, but home

Our flight from Denver to Little Rock on the evening of the 18th was delayed twice (because of airline issues) and then cancelled (due to weather).  By the time the cancellation was announced, many (many!) other flights had also been cancelled, so there were no hotel rooms available within 25 miles of the airport.  Like plenty of other folks we spent the night in the airport, and we were lucky to get re-routed on a flight leaving first thing in the morning.  Our luggage was on a different flight, but--luckily again--it arrived in Little Rock half an hour after we did.  Everything worked fine--even spending the night in the airport wasn't disastrous, just uncomfortable and unrestful--but it was still stressful and exhausting.  Finally getting home and knowing that the next bed I'll be sleeping in (and soon!) will be my own are definitely good things.
