Well, we made it to Huntsville…

…Finally!!! The team and I left Bemidji on Wednesday at 6pm. We got to Huntsville at 9:30pm on Thursday! We bussed to the Twin Cities Wednesday since we were supposed to fly out so early today. We got to the airport…checked in…made it through security…and to the gate…only to have the flight delayed for an hour. OK…no big deal. Then we board the plane at 12:20pm…and sit there until 1:20pm. There’s bad weather in the south…so we were flying into a VERY strong headwind. So, the 90 minute flight turned into a 2 hour flight. Add in all the delays, and we missed our flight to Huntsville. So, Delta got us a bus…a SMALL BUS to drive us the 3 hours to Huntsville. The bus wasn’t big enough for all of us AND all the equipment, so they had to find us a large van as well. We finally left Memphis at 5:20pm.

Since it’s raining down here (a lot!), the 3 hour drive turned into a 4 hour drive. So, from the time we left Bemidji to the time we checked into the hotel was 28 hours!

Expect the unexpected on the road!
