Stranded in Oklahoma

Dan had a business trip this week... a real exciting one too... He left on Tuesday and flew to Oklahoma City. He had a meeting there, then he headed to Northern Texas for another meeting, then he was supposed to drive to Rodgers, Arkansas (home of Walmart) for another set of meetings. Tuesday and Wednesday meeting-wise went as planned, but then the weather messed up everything. An ice storm was forecasted to hit the Midwest. Dan decided that he wasn't driving to Arkansas in an ice storm so he was coming home early and changed his return flight to Thursday. Well, the storm hit with a vengeance. Dan's flight was canceled. He was put on a flight via Memphis for Friday, which was canceled... next it was a direct flight home on Sunday, then a direct flight home on Saturday, then a flight via Minnesota for Sunday. Canceled, canceled, and canceled. Currently Dan is scheduled for a flight out tomorrow (Sunday) via Dallas, but who knows. Today is the first day in 48 hours that any flights are coming or going out of Oklahoma City, but most of today's scheduled morning flights were canceled. Hopefully the "travel gods" can be with Dan and he can get home tomorrow. Meanwhile, he is so bored stranded in his hotel. He has a book with him, internet service, and there is a fitness center, but unfortunately, the pool is outdoors and the hot tub should be renamed the "tepid tub". Last night he ventured out for dinner, after scraping 1" thick ice from the windshield of the rental car. He said the road was terrible... 5" of snow on top of a thick ice layer. Sigh... I just find it ironic... for the first time ever that Dan decided to cut a trip short, he's stranded and returning later than originally planned.
