Midnight at the Jackson County Internation Airport in Medford Oregon
Last night I spent midnight at the Jackson County International Airport in Medford Oregon. Our son was coming home for Christmas and had a flight on Horizon Airlines from Seattle to Medford that was to arrive in Medford at 7:25 pm. However because of a storm in Seattle with power outages that flight was canceled. He then got a new flight on Horizon that was to arrive at 12:20 am. That flight made it but not his luggage. He had checked his luggage in Grand Forks North Dakota when he left there and then he went on to Minneapolis. He then flew from Minneapolis to Seattle. However because they canceled the flight from Seattle his luggage didn't make it. We then had to wait in line for about half an our to be able to report the lost suitcase and didn't make it home till 2 am. It's amazing how many people are at the airport at midnight. There were at least three flights arriving at that time of night. On the other hand it took us three hard days of driving to drive to Grand Forks North Dakota last summer and he made the trip by airplane in one day and we all take it for granted. He is safe at home for Christmas.
