This year, on the way back from Atlanta, about half of team 694 (including me!) was stuck behind a freak nor'easter that happened to be right in between Atlanta and New York
. We spent about ten hours in the airport, and finally got the *very last* plane out of Atlanta to the New York *area*, that is, we were on a plane until 10 pm, and then on a bus until 11:30. At least we didn't have to carry our luggage through the torrential downpours -- it was lost in the process. Most of us got home after midnight, despite our original plan to be back in NYC by 10 AM. It was lovely.
