The Adventures of Alyce in Wisconsin

I had the chance this past week to go out to Wisconsin and visit with my sister Megan. My journey started Saturday morning leaving Boise to Minnesota then on to Wisconsin or at least that is how it was suppose to go. After being delayed 6 hours in Minn. due to bad weather my flight was finally canceled till the next morning. Thankfully my in-laws live not far from the airport and they weathered the storm and came and got me. It was nice visiting with them and Gam. So the next morning (4:00am) Gary and Jackie took me back to the airport. My flight was suppose to leave at 6:00am but the weather in Greenbay was too icy. At 9:00am the pilot decided that we would leave and take a chance that the weather would be good when we got there. Just my luck, we wern't able to land and continued on to Detroit. I was beginning to wonder if Wisconsin even existed. After a long, long, long, walk/run thru the airport I was able to get a flight to Appleton which is the closet airport to Megan's house. 25 1/2 hours later, 6 airplanes, 4 airports, broken doors on airplanes, de-icers not working, bad hot chocolate, and lost luggage. I finally was on a plane to Appleton. Wisconsin does exist......
