Largely because we were bringing a large amount of stuff. (We’re spending nearly two months out of town.) Also, though, we didn’t want to deal with the headache of flying with Loki. The cat is a screamer — even when he isn’t pissed off. The constant screaming on the flight, after trying to get him through security (where you have to remove him from his carrier), all while also dealing with bags — it seemed like too much. Plus, road trips are kinda fun (at least for the first 100 miles). Flying is not fun. [...] [...] Why the hell were we driving instead of flying?

My flight out of Oklahoma City was also canceled, but I was driven to Dallas to catch my connecting flight home. Within five minutes of take-off, the plane was struck by lightning. I wrote about the whole experience here.
