Leave it to me to pick the weekend of DC’s first snowfall of the season to mileage run.  I brought a change of clothes just in case I get stuck somewhere.  My routing today is DCA-CVG-SFO-DTW-DCA.  I only have 58 minutes in SFO and 36 minutes in DTW on the way home.  Couple that with the weather, and I thought the potential was there for “issues.” 

Well, let me close for now.  I’m feeling random musing on travel coming on.  Let me see what I can come up with.
