Anywhere I may roam, where I lay my head is home
And yes, finally I made it home this morning. After wasting 5 days in Canada, I finally reached home this morning. BTW if you are wondering what I was doing in Canada after my bad experience last time, I was visiting Toronto to participate in Agile 2008 conf. The conference got over on Friday and then I wanted to get back home as soon as possible.
Due to unavailability of seats, I was booked on Sunday flight. Which got cancelled due to bad weather in New York. Then I was put on the Monday flight. Which again got cancelled and they put me on the Tuesday flight. Delta Airline apparently has a policy that if the flight is cancelled due to weather problem, then they can treat the passengers like crap. No accommodation, no expenses, no change of flights, etc. Basically “you are on your own”. It turns out the best option is to cancel your tickets and run to another airline.
Big thanks to Deborah Hartmann for hosting me at her place and for taking care of me when I was down with a fever and cold. Deb, you rock!
