Okay the trip was not a total failure, there was a lot of good food and some great times. But the one thing I have to mention is Big Daddy’s Seafood Market. Here is a little spot in the town of Jennings,La. And you want to talk seafood this is the place. A lot of us had platters of boiled crawfish, and those were served with a potato and ear of corn, and was a true treat to enjoy. And the only bad thing about the little rascals is peeling them but I was seated next to the fastest mudbug peeler in LA, and she was a great help when it came to eating. The other thing was a all you can eat boiled shrimp dinner and the darn shrimp were so big you would swear they should have had saddles on them. Yummy Yummy and not to mention Yummy stuff. If you are driving through Jennings drop in and have the meal of your life.

The idea was go south and have a nice pre-Christmas party. Well that went well, and then came yesterday. Sitting in the airport to start the day we were told the plane was running late due to Ice. Well okay I figured that this is the season for storms no big deal and I had plenty of time to catch my next plane in Memphis. Oh and how wrong was I? After sitting for over 12 hours the dreaded message hit the flight list, CANCELED! So I got in line along with many of my fellow travelers. I can fly to anyplace in the US and Canada and Mexico, anyplace that is does not include my destination. So at about 1AM I was told that I had 2 options both involving me being stuck in Lovely Memphis until Christmas day. Okay if that is the only option I will take it. Now comes the part that really toast’s my cookies. It seems as if Northwestern has a reputation of canceling flights daily here in Memphis. Let’s just say this will be the last time I use Northwestern Airlines or any of it’s partners. Well you get the hint so I am going to sit back have some good BBQ and then who knows maybe even go and visit Graceland. For all of you have a Merry Christmas and I will talking to you all later.
Update on the flight news it seems as if tomorrow there might be a tad bit of a hangup too. Darn that movie Planes,Trains, and Automobiles has come to life and bitten me.
