Delayed Flight Equals Rescheduled Flight

The heavy fog in Atlanta caused my connection to Delta flt 399 to be rescheduled to Delta flt 401. It worked out fine as I am on the flight with Michele, Denise, Deborah and Dorsey. It's gonna be a fun ride to Roatan, I'm sure.

Refueling In Columbus

We are refueling in Columbus, Ga. The weather conditions in Atlanta deterioted to a point that flight operations were suspended. We expended more fuel than anticipated while in the holding pattern for landing. As soon as the plane refuels, we should be on the way to Arlanta for connections to Roatan. I'm not certain of the effect of this fuel delay to Columbus toward the connection for Roatan.

Hurry Up And Wait

We are waiting to board the flight to Atlanta.
