So Noah's gone to camp and Jacques is stranded in Quebec city with 7 other coworkers (2 stranded westbound in Riviere du Loup and 6 stranded eastbound in Quebec City) . The highway between here and Quebec City is CLOSED.
His original flight from Thursday was cancelled, he rescheduled the flight to Fredericton for Friday but then when he discovered all the snow Fredericton was getting (late Thursday night), he rebooked to fly into Quebec City. So once they arrived in Quebec City yesterday afternoon (2 hours late)....I was SO excited to know that he was home AND in the matter of 4 hours we'd be heading away ALONE for the ENTIRE weekend!
Then it all came to a screeching hault when they were waiting at the baggage check when they overheard people talking about highway being closed.
And SURE enough...the rumours were true.
After waiting hour by hour, they finally decided to check into hotels around 8pm. The plan: spend the night, get up in the WEE hours of the morning and hit the road by 6am (in hopes to be home by around 11am)...then we'd get on the road to go away by lunch! I'm adaptable...and okay, I can't change it so at least we'd get one night alone, right?
WRONG.....
NOW......it's almost 9:30 am and at this point, there is NO end in sight. The highway remains closed and looking at the weather forecast (red screen wind warnings for the entire day), my assumption is that they will be closed for most of the day. I am so sad....I feel so empty and am SO let down by the circumstances.
I miss my husband and am so sad that we didn't get our weekend away and ALONE :(
