Made it into the New Orleans airport around noon today, about an hour late. Because the weather was so bad in NJ, we were stuck waiting for a connecting flight from Boston that had a bunch of our passengers. When they boarded, I saw that they were all FEMA, military, and DHS personnel, so I kinda figured it made sense to hold up the flight for them.
Much to the official VM fiancee’s chagrin, I got another first-class upgrade. I promised to let her sit up front next time they give me one of those. Unless it’s on a long flight or something.
Driving through the outskirts of the city on the way to her parents’ house, I was dumbstruck by the amount of wreckage and debris everywhere. More to come…
