Well, I've finally arrived.
Monday I started out at 4am, a friend picked me up and took me to the fly-away bus. (Getting someone to get up that early -- 3 am -- means that they really are your friend). Take bus to LAX, flight on Delta to Salt Lake, get stuck because the connecting flight isn't going to Portland; much hours later... come back to LA, sans luggage...
Confer with my sister in the morning (next day); get on a flight out of Burbank (Southwest) to Sacremento. **Thanks to my sister and her determined friend, Susi(?).** Hang around SAC for a while, connecting flight is late... but still going... and get into Portland airport around 8 pm; only with my carry on(s) because the checked item still hasn't made it out of whereever... get on blue train because red-line isn't running... a frozen track switch prevents transit to Beavertion; so I get to the closest destination (where my sister is waiting! Yay), around 11pm.
Today, I checked my luggage status, and according to the Delta website, it's *found* but "enroute". That means what, exactly? (sigh) That's most of my clothes, my shaving kit, and the gifts.
but, I'm here... I'm safe (and it's a VERY white christmas).
