More Travel Woes

Alas, I am not in Paris, but stuck in Newark. My 5:30pm flight from Bangor left the gate at 7:45pm and then stayed on the tarmac until 10:05. Not surprisingly I missed both evening flights to Paris. I then waited in line for over an hour to get rebooked on the next flight. Then it was a challenge to find a hotel. There are so many stranded passengers that all the nearby hotels are full. Eventually I found a place that was a 15 minute cab ride from the airport. Time to get some sleep. I've now spent two nights out of the last four stranded at NYC metro area airports.
