23:38 Europe time 14:38 California time
Dusty: We're rashly assuming we'll get home tonight
Dusty: Dfw still closed

to Syracuse from DFW (it was a cheap flight on miles for him and it
shared a leg with us)
Dusty: Standing in the aisle now on the ground
Dusty: will be a mess once it re-opens
Dusty: Fco Roma easy peasy getting through security this
morning...
23:40 Europe time 14:40 California time
Ray: You made Robby fly 2500 miles west of Syracuse becauze why again?

Dusty: Decided i need to see the Alps at least every year
for the rest if my life
Dusty: Watched Eiger Sanction on last flight
Dusty: Will go to Switzerland alone next year if noone else is going
Dusty: 3-4 days each near Murren, Zermatt, Saas and maybe even St
Moritz sounds like a lovely time
Dusty: Kent, you looking for a ground man? :)
23:51 Europe time 14:51 California time
Dusty: rewatch Kent's Switzerland videos, you probably haven't
memorized most of them like i have
Dusty: Talk talk!
00:02 Europe time 15:02 California time
Dusty: They just warned us our crew may time out..
Dusty: but they are trying to get us in position to at least try to fly
back to dfw if it reopens
Dusty: Apparently dfw also had to evacuate a tower or
something
Dusty: Google is useless for realtime and i refuse to use
Twitter, assuming that would help....
00:05 Europe time 15:05 California time
Dusty: Overhearing other people have already been texted by American that
their are now flying tomorrow instead of tonight
00:08 Europe time 15:08 California time

Dusty: By the time they canceled Robbys flight to Syracuse late
last night there were no flights left TODAY to get him home other than
same late flight tonight, which of course may get canceled again
Dusty: He rebooked to Lagaudia last night, slept in dfw, and has
reserved a 1 way car rental to drive to Syracuse
Dusty: He's on plane now dfw, again delayed in pissing rain
in a flash flood warning
16:34 Europe time 07:34 California time

Ray: I hope he gets there sometime today!
