IN NY

I am now in NY. We flew out this morning. Normally a flight from Minnesota would take 2 hours but today it took a whopping 4 hours. We got on the plane on time and things were looking good. But boy was I mistaken. When they closed the doors the pilot got on the "microphone", as Harrison called it, and told us there was an hour and 40 minute delay in NY so we were going to stay in MN on the runway until we were cleared. Well 20 minutes later they got on the microphone again and told us the gate agent had a message for us and we had to go back to the gate. The gate agent then got on the plane and had a nice chat with the pilot who finally told us we were going to stay at the gate for 40 more minutes and we could get off the plane and walk around if we wanted. Well almost 2 hours after our original departure time we finally took off. The kicker is they pushed back from the gate on schedule so that will make this flight an "on time" flight. Crazy!
