I called United and got some guy in India telling me everything is still on time.
Even if they open tomorrow morning it will have to take them a while to get caught up.. there's something like 3000 people stuck there right now.
Looks like I will be gassing up the GMC and driving tonight.. Mapquest says its only a 14 hour drive, that's 12hrs in reality.
the drive is pretty much "as the crow flies" for 956 miles on the highway 40...
I certainly don't wanna get stuck in Denver for the holidays or diverted to who-knows-where.
