So, all those people who flew to their holiday destinations

are they gonna be able to fly back home?

I keep hearing on the news about all the cancelations. I highly doubt it would be resolved in 2,3,4 or even 7 days.

But the news persons aren’t asking this question.

An extended visit would be nice. He's to leave the day after Xmas after two weeks, but it is going too fast

My family and I were thinking about going on a trip for Christmas, but I'm sure glad we didn't go anywhere. We might have been stuck wherever we went. Makes me think of Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. People are going to be trying to rent cars and get train or bus tickets all at the same time. I wonder if they'll have enough to accommodate all of the people who are stranded. Of course, some people might be stranded on an island or somewhere else across the water. Looks this might be a huge mess.

I’ve been busy today, but everyone I’ve seen has been asking what will happen to travelers potentially stranded.

Daughter flew in (no problems except the TSA line at her home airport almost made her miss her plane).

It would be terrible if she couldn't go home as soon as scheduled...

Otherwise l’m stuck in MN with the grandkids (not horrible by any means) but the rearranging of stuff on my calendar back home would be a major pain in the derrière

My flight here was easy. TSA line moved quickly. Everyone - and I mean everyone - at the airport was masked. No tantrums on the plane. Checked baggage arrived timely. Easy peasy.
