Teresa S. says: (2:02:46 PM)
other people traveling as well?

Jake the Snake says: (2:02:54 PM)
yeah

Jake the Snake says: (2:09:01 PM)
trying to find another flight

The remainder of the conversation occurs in email, as Jake is no longer online with MSN:

Teresa S. says: (4:32:46 PM)
please send your new flight no. when you get one so i can track.

Jake the Snake says: (5:59:01 PM)
Let me know if it shows us in Allentown, PA? We just landed here because we ran out of fuel and could not keep circling Newark.

Jake the Snake says: (6:09:01 PM)
Hopefully just a gas and go.2 I think our tires are still ok.

Teresa S. says: (6:12:26 PM)
departs ABE 6:55, but no updated arrival time at EWR

Jake the Snake says: (6:18:21 PM)
I think I'm driving to Newark now.

Teresa S. says: (6:22:00 PM)
arrival time updated to 7:37

Jake the Snake says: (6:34:52 PM)
Maybe I'll be home around 9:30 or so.

Jake the Snake says: (6:35:12 PM)
We will see.



They convinced the flight crew to take them to the terminal, rented a car and drove to Newark. The flight he was on departed ahead of schedule and landed on time. Either way, he would have been home around 9:30.

1 I'll let you figure out who he met with in Halifax.
2 Cars allusion?
