Who is going Camping!!!!

- Start date
Just arrived in Orlando. Passed through Nashville around 8 am. There was the remains of someone’s front bumper plastic cover on the side of the road with Iowa plate still on it. Anyone lose their bumper?
By the way Atlanta traffic is horrible. Lost at least an hour trying to navigate through that mess. GPS took us off grid to try and miss the backups and that wasn’t any better. Seems everyone had gps doing the same thing lol
Between Chattanooga and Atlanta we probably lost 2 hours yesterday. GPS even took us off on a gravel road once so that was neat.
Saw some of the Cyclone Liquors people at the DSM airport this morning . . . with a big white cooler! I'll bet people enjoyed their flight more than the one I was on.
NWS has lowered the rain chances for Saturday down to 30%

Just saw something with my own eyes that I wouldn't have believed if you told me. We're at O'Hare on the standby list for the 10am flight. As we walk up, they are asking for 3 volunteers to take a later flight tonight and offering $1000 in compensation. $1000 each. No deal. Bummer. That means there is no chance that I will be able to get a standby seat on the flight. Ten minutes later, they offered $2000. A few people go up to the counter, including a guy that looked like an old Dutch farmer. Thought for sure he would take it. No deal. These Cyclone fans wanted to go to Orlando and not mess around. Then, they went to $3000 to fly first class tonight with a connection and very late arrival. $3000 + first class for each of them! A family near the counter stood up, talked with the agents, and took the deal. I walked up and shook their hands for accomplishing the best travel hack I've ever seen (and I travel 100k miles per year). They are Wisconsin fans going to see their daughter, but two of them were planning to go to our bowl game in order to cheer against Notre Dame. But wait, there's more. It seems that something happened and they weren't able to give them the first class seats. So they gave them $5000. Each! These folks will still fly tonight, but with $15,000 worth of vouchers. Like I said, unbelievable. If I hadn't been there, I wouldn't have believed it.
P.S. And here I am sitting in the lounge waiting for my regularly scheduled flight. Grumble, grumble, grumble.
Edited to say that I didn't see the post above before I posted mine.
