Could y’all lift up some high holy hands that I make it to L.A. tomorrow? The power outages in the Northeast have meant that Cleveland’s airport shut down for a while and we fly through Cleveland.

**UPDATE: we are being re-routed through Houston on MUCH later flights.** I checked the Continental Airlines website compulsively and found out about 20 minutes ago that our flight into Cleveland was cancelled. Our flight from Cleveland to L.A. was fine. The first person I spoke to at Continental was an airhead and told me sweetly that the soonest we’d get to L.A. would be the 21st. She then decided to look at our information (which she really should have done… WHEN I FIRST ASKED HER!!!!!!!!!!) and saw that they’d already re-routed us through Houston on later flights in the day. She then hung up before I could ask her anything about the details. I called back and got someone who knew what she was doing and she got my questions answered and even told me how to check my reservation status online. So… I’ll probably sleep some time and God willing, we will not have a situation like Christmas morning where they forget they re-routed us and refuse to let me on the plane.
