Winter Storm Delays Flights


FROM MSNBC

Here is the view from our hotel room somewhere in Newark, New Jersey. All day we've been hearing snowplows and ice pellets hitting the window. Due to a winter storm over the East Coast, our flight from Ohio was delayed 1 1/2 hours, and then of course we missed our connecting flight that night to Paris. We managed to get on the phone and rebook.. but the next flight wasn't going out for another 24 hours. What a predicament! We had to leave all the dolls in trunks at the airport, with promises they'd be safe. The Half Elf is with us in her violin case.



Hayleigh came along this trip-- the day we left was her 13th birthday! She's a teenager now, so of course she needed an iPod.
They did give us some toothbrushes, but it's really strange sleeping in the same clothes as we wore yesterday, and still wearing them today. Groundhog Day?

Although we missed the trip to Montmartre this morning, we'll have some days next week to make that trip on our own. Everyone cross your fingers our flight can leave tonight, so we can get to the Doll Expo on time!
