On Sunday, we'd planned on having breakfast with the family but due to "Sandy" we decided to head back to Hackensack. Steve received a call from United canceling his DC to Dallas leg. He tried to call and change reservations but decided it would be quicker to go to Burlington International Airport for a face to face. We dropped him off and less than 30 minutes later, he texted me and said there was nothing going out of BIA until Tuesday. He said he was going to rent a car and settle in.
Vicki and I continued south and stopped in Rutland and got a case of water and a loaf of bread. It's lucky we did as when Vicki went to the grocery store after we got home, the cupboards were bare.
We both awoke early on Monday [today] and sat in front of the TV watching local stations until she had to go to work - Lakeshore Learning Store. Surprisingly, it was open but finally closed around 2:00. I was glued to TV, taking time out for a quick shower while there's still hot water.
Right now, I've got a stew bubbling on the stove and so far power is still on, though I've been losing internet connection intermittently. Sandy is about 150 miles southeast of Atlantic City right now [3:15pm] and the wind is absolutely fierce! Little rain at this point but it's several hours away.
My flight has been changed from Wednesday to Friday and hopefully, I'll be able to make it back to Dallas without too much more chaos!
Hope all family and friends in Sandy's path are safe, dry and warm.
