Milwaukee, WI

Thanks to the remnants of Ernesto hitting Boston, I am in Milwaukee waiting for a rain-delayed plane home. My flight was supposed to be one plane with three stops: two quick ones in Kansas and Milwaukee before ending up in Boston. I wouldn't have to deplane, my luggage wouldn't go astray, it was a tiny bit longer flying time than other flights, but with stopovers on other flights it really didn't work out to longer overall.

Except now for the rain! Feh! Ah well, I get to add another state to my tally of "where I've been in the US" -- I now can claim Wisconsin. I can't claim Kansas because honestly, I didn't get out of the plane. You can't count that. But three hours of listening to flat Wisconsin announcers telling me to not leave my luggage unattended allows me a little liberty, here.

Oh, and I like Midwest! The seats are comfy! The cookies are good! Ok, I've been delayed on two out of the three stops I was supposed to take today, but...they have cookies! :-)

I got this pay-wifi at the airport (the General Mitchell International Airport) because at least I can listen to the Red Sox while I suffer in the Land of Cheese. I should see if I can pirate some electricity soon; left my phone on in my carryon while we were in flight, and it spent the three hours looking for a signal, so now it's all "battery VERY low" and red and angry.

My trip will be over soon. I think.

Too bad you couldn't get out of the airport... I went to Chicago to visit my then-bf and we drove to Milwaukee to meet one of his friends. Contrary to what I thought Wiscousin would be (Thank you, That 70's Show), Milwaukee is BEAUTIFUL. For the short amount of time I was there... I REALLY enjoyed the city and the area. Of course, there are some bad neighborhood but that's normal. But I love the surrounding and the buiilding and architecture a nd everything. Even though I was sick that day... I had a great experience in that lovely city...
