welp, managed to go a whole year without a major airline snafu until my last work trip of the year. Flight from Miami to Portland was cancelled, and all the other options from Miami were bad. So I'm taking the Brightline train to Orlando and getting on a direct flight to Portland tonight!

  well I made it to Orlando with plenty of time to spare! Full writeup of the high-speed train experience is coming shortly. Now I just have to cross my fingers that the next flight actually takes off.

  @aaronpk hey, not too bad as far as travel snafus, go. Still annoying and inconvenient, but an impressive streak nevertheless!
  What's the delta between your final arrival time and the original? And did the airline cover the cost of the alternative arrangements?

  @aaronpk Glad you got to take advantage of any "intermodal" path to route around "damage" and find your destination. The Internet of Aaron Parecki (IoAP)
