I got to L.A. OK but thunder storms in Dallas meant a delay which stretched to 12 hours (rather than the expected 4), cancelled flights, an unplanned diversion to Miami, 9 hours sitting there then back to New Orleans.
Could have been worse, at one stage I was going via San Francisco, Washington DC & Orlando... or not till Saturday when the conference was over!
I finally got to the hotel at 14:00, the conference started at 15:00!
