JAN to DFW by Stephanie Arnett, 2023

Los Angeles to Mississippi

Groggy, I rubbed my eyes, rolled over, and confirmed that I had woken up before my alarm — 230am… again [thanks, Pacific Time]

California did not turn out to be the “sunny & 75” I was expecting. Instead, there was a winter weather storm notice, complete with strong winds, and cold rains

I will admit, I was a little anxious for the day’s events. The day before, my flight had been cancelled, but luckily, they were able to rebook me on a very similar flight

The start of my trip was smooth

Online check-in. Easy to check luggage. Short TSA line. Aisle seat. Onboard movie. Comfort seats.

It was when I landed in Dallas, that everything went south — fast…

The second my phone connected to the cellular service from the tarmac, text messages began flooding in

It was Paul, informing me my flight had been cancelled

**sigh**

I took a deep breath, gathered my things, and proceeded to the terminal

Once I stepped into the open area, I stopped, sat my backpack down, and called Will. He knew the flight had been cancelled…
