I’m spending this week in Scotland, a journey that started for me at 5am Tuesday and thanks to weather on the east coast ended in me not arriving in Edinburgh until 9am on Thursday. The issue came when my flight from San Francisco to JFK wasn’t allowed to land because of approaching weather, a problem that forced the plane to divert to Philadelphia and sit for 3 hours, the 3 hours that just happened to be when my flight to Edinburgh took off. The best news? The next flight wasn’t until 7pm the next day.
