Atlanta has proven as ugly as I thought. After waiting on the tarmac (Continetal, operated by Delta) for an hour for 40 planes to take off. The pilot determined that there was something wrong with the front wheel.

Had to get off the plane and have been in the airport for 6 hours. I might not make it home tonight.

Not complaining about the wheel thing at all. I don't want to ride a broken plane. Just hate the congestion and wait.

Violin got on fine :)

good, I am just glad that they found the wheel thing before they took off. It could have turned into the thing like with Jet Blue last year.
Ugh - what a drag, tho. Glad the violin got on. That must have been a relief, given Delta's reputation.
Dontcha hate flying? Sucks you had to sit there and wait. Hope the rest of your travels go smoother.
