Ahhh, Chicago. Snow storm hit just as we were boarding plane. We sat on the tarmac for two hours before returning to gate. Just got official cancellation. 🙃 There’s nothing to do but… https://t.co/M1KwQcmsar

Eight fruitless hours at the airport, and now I’m back at hotel. At least it only took an hour to pull my luggage off the plane. ❄️❄️❄️ The snow is still falling…


@united In all the chaos of O’Hare cancellations, I lost my iPad when we deplaned! 😢 Anything I can do besides log report? What a nightmare of a day.


And somehow I managed to leave my iPad on the plane when we deboarded after sitting on the runway for 2 hours. 😢 Really, really crappy day. Hoping @united finds it quickly…


@united I did, thanks. I was just hoping there was a faster option given I know exactly where it is, but I guess not. 😔


@lemon_lime Yes. With hundreds of flights cancelled, the estimated wait time was “40-50 minutes.” And United’s website says to just fill out form and wait. 😩


@mattstratton I’ve seen from my team that the airport is INSANE. Leave yourself way extra time. I’m heading for the South Shore instead…


@united Someone just rang me to say they found it! ❤️ Really happy. Bright spot amongst some bad travel luck.


@united It’s a little scary that she needed my passcode to verify it was mine, but I guess there’s no other way to verify. Fingers crossed it’s waiting as promised in Lost & Found next week when I return.


Looks like United found it! And I’m on a train now with wifi! And my Dad is waiting with food and beer and a Tremors marathon! Perhaps this story will have a happy ending after all… ❤️ https://t.co/maiHMHSh5e

It’s not the most glamorous way to travel, but it’s warm and there’s wifi… and I’m not fighting the crowds at the airport. 🚂❄️ https://t.co/h2DpvvfT8Q https://t.co/gEPfqT0eaL


Time to put all the travel stress behind me… https://t.co/MDfL6QELDE https://t.co/SkcJUiMx0z


Question – was it canon BACK THEN that Obi-Wan Force-healed Luke from the Sand People? Because I never got that. I just thought Luke got knocked out for a bit.
