I got to experience one of the true joys of summer travel on the east coast today - thunderstorms. It was hot today - temps went past 90 with pretty high humidity. On the east coast, that means one thing - late day T-Storms.

So of course I arranged my flight to Cincinnati for 7:50 pm. I arrived at DCA to find flights backed up like crazy - the 5:40 departure to dayton hadn't left yet (it never did - they put some of those passengers on our flight). We boarded around 8, and then just sat until 9, as a rather nasty storm rolled by. Then they re-opened the door, and put on a few refugees from the earlier flight.

Maybe next time I'll have the sense to fly earlier in the day :)
