东海岸的风暴

我一直梦想着等到孩子们16岁的时候,把这些成长点滴呈现给他们,说:"看,你们就是这样长大的!"

遇到过飞机晚点的,可没见过晚成这样的。

星期天晚上回旧金山的机票原本是9点50分离港,自以为时间充裕不着急,吃过晚饭后洗完澡还跟P到楼下玩了会儿篮球,耗到9点钟才去机场,心想总是不会有什么问题吧。谁知到了登机口一看,晚点了,初步的估计是要到12点半才能走;而且由于这是今天飞San Jose的最后一趟航班,而早些的航班又已经飞走了,所以没得改签,只能等。

晚点对于旅客无论如何是一件很不爽的事情,尤其是总共一小时的飞行却要晚点3个小时,更加令人不爽。于是就听到有人嚷嚷着撂狠话,说不等了,说干脆自己开车过去算了,从洛杉矶到San Jose也就4个半小时的路而已,云云。不过话也就是这么说说而已啦,该老兄发完狠还是乖乖地找个地方闭目养神去了。

很快就有消息过来,说是东部有大雷阵雨,从费城、巴尔地摩过来的航班都受影响了;晚点不去说了,连取消的都有。(第二天早晨的新闻证实了这一说法,从图片上看好些地区水淹的还挺厉害)

由于多个航班晚点,候机楼里的那些个小店也乘机比往日多做了不少的生意,其中以咖啡店和书店的买卖最为兴旺。手握一本小说,再加一杯烫烫的咖啡,打发掉几个小时是很容易的。在书店的口袋书架子上,居然被我发现一本硕果仅存的Da Vinci Code,虽说以前在网上早就看过这本书了,但现在拿来重温一遍也不错,那些冷涩难懂的宗教名词正好可以慢慢消化一下。

......(此间无聊旅途略过不提)

走出清冷无人的San Jose机场时已经是凌晨2点钟,原本昏昏沉沉的旅客们被那冷风一激,倒也一扫颓态,雄赳赳地拉着行李走进夜色、各奔东西去了。平日里不甚通畅的101号高速路此时自然也是无比地空旷,25个mile的路17分钟就到了。

进门倒头便睡,一夜无梦。

LAX候机楼的地势比较高,那天晚上站在大玻璃窗前能看见洛杉矶上空的闪电,非常壮观,如果不是要苦等那倒霉飞机的话,甚至会有些赏心悦目的感觉。

那天我们这也打大雷了,把road side parking的车都打的警报乱响,还断电n秒。 2点才到家,可怜。
