Last night I was at one.
Houston had one of it whirlwind thunderstorms. The sky turns green and trees almost fall over due to the wind. Of course, all flights out of both airports were delayed.
One of our bosses was on the 4:30 and it was delayed until 7:30. She was driving her rental car back to Dallas. We decided to check on ours. The phone said our 5:30 was only delayed until 6:20. We knew it was too good to be true, but we had come to a decision time:
1) Drive 4-5 hours back to Dallas through Houston traffic in a rental pontiac with not great AC or
2) Continue on to the airport where we could possibly have a two hour delay, yet have wifi availability and our choice of dinner at Pappasitos or Pappadeaux.
We chose option number two. Timing couldn't have been better. Our flight had been delayed to 7, we only had to wait 10 minutes for a table at Pappadeaux, and I got to relax and drink a beer.
Two roads diverged in a wood and I
I took the more fun and relaxing fork
And that made all the difference

Ahhh yes, avoiding the very special Hell that is making one's way out of Houston. Yes, it was a smart, smart decision on your part. You probably saved 2-3 quality years on your life.
Were you at Hobby? We probably crossed paths last night! (Our flight left around 8). How funny! (We had the kid with us, though, so no partaking of the margaritas at Pappasitos...sigh.)
awesome!! life rarely works out so niceley!!!
and what's up with no margaritas if you have a kid? mine drives me to drink, and i'd have had TWO!! :)
Yes yes yes. At Hobby. Damn sorry I missed you Jen.
FYI, I would have made you drink the margarita and Stephen could hold the kid!
