wr813 Posted January 30, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Flew out today from Madison wi for our constellation cruise tomorrow. Bad snow was no problem. On the way to Miami we had a leg to Atlanta. Got to Atlanta and kept circling for half an hour they said because of tornadoes. Diverted to Columbia sc and we are sitting here waiting with no end in sight. Will keep you posted. So much for a relaxing night in Miami. On the positive side, tried airport chicken and waffles for supper.... Yeah probably wont eat those again.

If you have an AQ cabin their everyday chicken dish is called airport chicken. Don't think its the same thing though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaB Posted January 30, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2013 It's actually called Airline Chicken but still the same thing -- but it's actually pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wr813 Posted January 30, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Delta told us there would be an update at 630 pm. Only one person has caused a scene so far. Sent from my ADR6325 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamthesea Posted January 30, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Just in case you need to make other arrangments, did you check flights from Columbia or Charleston to Miami? I see that your wife won this cruise. Do you have insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Anne Posted January 30, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Circling Atlanta right now myself on the way home to Florida. Long delays today are to be expected. Better to get there safe. The good news wr813 is that you will be able to get to Miami in the morning if needed. That's exactly why we fly the day before cruises we have to fly to. Good luck and enjoy Constellation!

wr813 Posted January 30, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted January 30, 2013 No flights from here to Miami tonight. No insurance. Should all work out just playing awaiting game. Sent from my ADR6325 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbfb Posted January 30, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Good luck. It stinks to start your vacation this way but I am sure you will make it by tomorrow morning at the very latest. Reinforces going the night before!! Have a wonderful time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momto5 Posted January 30, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Can you rent a car and drive? Not fun, but doable... As long as you can sidestep tornadoes I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted January 31, 2013 #12 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Good luck. The weather has been nasty in Atlanta today. Just a lot of rain right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olemissreb Posted January 31, 2013 #13 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Rain has lessened up where I live and I have heard planes overhead. There was a ground stoppage at Hartsfield a couple hours ago, but I believe it's lifted now. Most of the really bad weather is past us so planes should start moving again, but it will be slow going for a while. Good thing you planned to fly in a day early. Enjoy the cruise and have a big ole drink to celebrate getting there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg63 Posted January 31, 2013 #14 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Airline chicken is a small wing pressed down with that little side of thigh meat, aptly named from the fact it was served on airlines just the right size for those little airline dishes. Generally baked or broiled. Chicken and waffles is a very "southern thing" ... Breakfast, lunch and dinner..and fried. Deep fried. Suthin' style!!!

bbeltmom Posted January 31, 2013 #15 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Be glad you flew today! and relax on the ship! We have always travelled at least a day earlier than we need to be somewhere at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my ADR6325 using Tapatalk 2 Sorry to read this....you are practically my neighbor...we're just slightly over the boarder and daughter and family are in Madison...just about all schools were canceled today. Georgia was hit with tornadoes...crazy weather...one reason we don't travel this time of year...but who would have thought tornadoes? Hope everything goes smoothly from here out. I'm glad you're not on the Equinox. :eek: Does that wr stand for wide receiver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
