Well we have finally made a decision for Mr. J and the older Miss J. We decided not to get their flight changed. 2 hrs. was not going to make a difference and the extra cost of $600 can be put to a better use.
Plan is he is taking his car, MX 5 rear wheel drive, down and parking in one of the garages at Dulles. And they will fly out this afternoon to Seattle. Plan is there is a possibility their flight will be canceled Sunday afternoon, and if so they will rebook and stay an extra night in Seattle. Plan B is if their flight is not canceled and they get in at their arrival time of midnight and cannot drive, they will get a hotel room down near the airport until it is safe to drive back home. Plan C is this storm stays more West and they get lucky and can drive home after they get in. I have spent 2 nights with insomnia trying to figure this out and finally told myself I do not have control of the situation and what will be will be. The weather in Seattle is supposed to be beautiful for her college visit and as long as she gets to see where she may be living for the next 4 years and decide that she is fine being that far away from home that is all that matters.
