#$%#$%#@#$@

We got packed, should have had plenty of time, and checked out of the hotel. I was worried we had too much time, with a 5:45 flight, and we sent to see "Up" to kill some time. Then we stopped for lunch, and were headed to the airport. For some reason I checked things at lunch to be sure that we were OK and noticed this:

Pensacola -> Houston 3:05pm

It was 4:01pm when I noticed.

Doh! A huge Doh! with Tia already out of town and Delaney with friends until, supposedly 8:00 tonight. So I called Continental, and the earliest they had was a 3:00 flight tomorrow. We decided to head to the airport, turned in the car, thinking there was a 6:00 we could stand by on.

We get there and check, and we'd stand by in Houston as well, not a good plan. They didn't even have anything tomorrow, and would reprice us for $300 if we made the 3:00 tomorrow, but couldn't confirm us until 9:00am Tues. Not good. No one else had anything today, but Air Tran wasn't on their system, so I walked over there. They couldn't get us out tonight, but they had a 6:20 and an 8:56am, both for $230 one way, so I just booked those.

Now I need to get Delaney and horses covered.
