We were dropped off at Logan International Airport in Boston. It took maybe 20 minutes to check in and go through TSA. We found a Wendys that didn't have jacked up airport prices! It was very good too, and there was a seating area!
We talked to a couple from the St. Louis area seated next to us, they had been on a similar cruise. I had hoped to walked by the gates where the planes were taken from on 9/11, in section B &C, but we were in section A, which did not have easy access to those areas. It was actually nice though. We felt like we were in a small airport the way it was sectioned off.
We went and sat near our gate. I charged my nearly dead phone and listened to my ipod, and read some in my Haunted Acadia book. It was a bit noisy at the airport, and drowning stuff out with tunes was nice. I listened to some Lou Reed, Kristina Stykos (Turn Off the Noise), and my autumn and Canadian playlists.
As we got ready to leave, we got emails that our flight was going to be delayed from getting us to Lexington at 11, to getting us there at 1am, then 2am, then we got an email that our flight was cancelled!
The flight crew from Boston to Detroit was great, and cheery- which I think affected everyone else's attitude. I was going to read, but the flight was a little over 1 and a half hours, and they had free movies to watch on the seatback, so I watched the Beguiled, which I heard was a Civil War movie. 7 southern women of various ages rescue a Yankee who's leg is injured, and they nurse him back to health. I ended up liking this movie because it was weird.... but it wasn't exactly a Civil War movie, other than the time and setting.
When we got to Detroit, we had an email that we were rescheduled for a flight leaving in an hour and a half or so (ended up getting us to Lexington about 15 minutes later than what we originally thought). Anyway, we were just thrilled to not have to spend the night at the Detroit airport.
Most places were closed at the Detroit airport, but we found a Wendys again, which was fine. They were getting ready to close I think but they were still taking orders.
We had a nice flight back to Lexington too!
