That was 17 hours of actual travel time. Almost 13 of that sitting in the airplane....(did I mention the very unhappy babies? The ones who cried from California....across Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska.....were lulled to sleep briefly over the "I"s....Iowa, Illinois and Indiana...then took up the cry again over Ohio....)

We were diverted to Syracuse where we were not allowed to leave the plane. Sat there for a few hours....the pilot did order pizzas (get the door...it's Dominos)....sat on the runway for a while....flew to NYC and sat on their runway for a while.
