With less than 48 hours to go before my originally scheduled departure time, a snowstorm is bearing down on Newark Airport, where I was supposed to catch my connecting flight to Amsterdam. This winter has been full of snowstorms. For the first time in my life, I am not a fan.
Fortunately, my mother is awesome and sat on the phone this morning from 5am to 8am with Continental Airlines prior to the airport closing. I leave at noon on Thursday.
SWEATER VS. SUITCASE UPDATE:
4 rounds in, I abandoned my attempts at fitting all my sweaters into my suitcase in favor of adding a duffel bag as carry-on. Sweaters forfeit - suitcase wins.
