Airport Limbo

[drcuriosity]

Good news: The flight from LAX to Dallas-Fort Worth left ten minutes early.

Bad news: The flight from DFW to Lexington stayed on the ground for an hour while they worked out an "error in their maintenance logs", which then turned into something serious and the took us all off the plane. Then we waited around for ages, and eventually got put on a couple of different flights. I'm now going to be going to Lexington via O'Hare in Chicago. Instead of getting there around 5p.m., I'll be in some time around 11p.m. I guess on the upside that means one more free can of soft drink on the plane, yay.

The temperature here is apparently 107°F (42°C), so I'm glad the terminal's air conditioned. The few times that I've had to move out of the A/C, it feels a bit like being hit by a baseball bat made out of heat.

DFW is Hell, in airport form.. Welcome!

Hmm, 42 degrees C, sounds like summer. I miss NZ summers.

Hope you're still having a good time!

That sounds like daily summer life in Texas. You can see why we scoff at people who melt at 80F.

Yes, yes I can. I'd call 80°F comfortably hot, but anything up in the high 80s is getting a bit uncomfortable. But then, I'm fine with near to freezing temperatures, too.

Thanksfully, when it came to the Texas Heat, I was forewarned :-)

Heh, here the high for the last few days has been 7 or 8 degrees C. I can't begin to imagine what 42 feels like.

I can, because I've been out in it. "Baseball bat made out of heat" is about right. Even the tough Aussie locals stayed in the shade (it was a blazing hot sunny day) and bailed for indoors with fans and icy drinks after about half an hour.

Indeed I am, thank you :-)
