>>>San Diego to DC, overland by car. Sounds like otherwise a pleasant trip could have been had. Bit "Route 66" though you probably went by interstates.

But we had also brought down 2 other employees and since Gary was the boss, he felt responsible for them. They both had wives and kids, and with no idea of how long the airport would be shut down, Gary decided we should rent a car and drive home. Only took 2 days, not too bad. But, we will *never* get in a Monte Carlo again! The guys called the car the "Iron Maiden" ... it was not a comfortable car to ride in (more so for them, I didn't have too much trouble, but then I'm not very big <g>).

>>>>>What was the big kerfuffle? I don't know teh date when the Devcon was but, judging by the year, and the other date of Michelle's interest: 9/9/1, and your not being able to fly, I'd hazzard a guess that it was THE 9/11.
