What did you do this weekend?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their weekend. Did you make any plans? Take a trip? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
I was supposed to fly to see my aunt who is very sick with brain cancer, but my connecting flight was canceled before I got to security for my first flight because they didn't have enough flight crew. They switched me to a Saturday itinerary that would have resulted in me spending 9 hours there before having to fly home (since I had an early morning return flight on Sunday), so I ended up canceling the whole trip. Now I have to try to wrangle refunds out of American Airlines and Hilton and figure out when I can get down there. This was the last weekend I had free for the next month, and I'm busy at a new job I started a couple months ago.
Just not sure what to do. It's a 9 hour drive each way so too far me for to consider that, but I'm worried about any future air travel falling through. I'm looking into direct flights from a major airport 2 hours away just to limit the number of things that can go wrong next time.
