Whew! When we arrived at Richmond airport at 4pm, our 5pm flight was cancelled. Since the worst of the storm had not yet reached town and the next flight wasn't until 7:30 we decided not to hang around since that would probably be cancelled too. So we set out to drive. At 5:45 we weren't even to Fredericksburg due to poor road conditions, but Terry got the idea to abandon the drive in DC and take the train. I called from the car and reserved two seats on the 8pm Acela. We thought we could go 40 miles in two hours no problem. Then problem! We still weren't at the station at 7:30 but we were close. I was in heels so we made a plan that Terry would grab our bag and run to pick up the tickets and I would go right to the platform. I arrived as the train was boarding, and saw Terry running the length of the station to catch up. We jumped in, found a seat and sat down breathless. Then the train pulled out of the station. Just like in the movies.
