What does SNOW in ATLANTA = ?

Let me tell you that snow in Atlanta = ALL FLIGHTS ARE CANCELED!  

This is my old mission companion and tight friend Tracy and I all ready for our flight to leave this morning to CHILE!!!  Yes, that is right.  I was putting my time machine to good use and trying to get back to Chile.  We were all packed and ready to go this morning and low and behold..canceled!!  EVERY time machine has it's proper troubles.  I.e.  Back to the future.   

We waited for hours in this long line waiting to get rerouted for another flight to Chile.  Everyone was bugged and not happy about the situation.  

No worries, we met this lady in line who did the honors of befriending us.  We even got double stuffed Oreos out of it.  Wasn't half bad!
This is Dan the man at work frantically searching for a flight for us.  They said we couldn't leave till WEDNESDAY  now.  GOOOD ONE...nice try.  Dan was looking all over the globe to find us a flight but so many were booked and canceled.  We were freaking out when he mentioned
"Well, let's see.  We could send you to PARIS and then go to Chile tomorrow from there."
We were FREAKING OUT!  Please bless we get to go to Paris!!!

I think he liked us because we were laughing and taking pictures of him instead of mad and cranky and yelling at him :)
A little video of the airport...

Well, no such luck.  The Paris flight was sold out.  So the solution ( a close 2nd to Paris of course).... MEXICO CITY!!  
We leave tomorrow morning to Mexico city and then go down to Chile.
So what should we do to kill time on our 'Stay-cation'?
How bout the best french toast ever at...THE OTHER PLACE RESTAURANT!  
It is so good.  Check it out on 5th east and 3rd south.  

Oh I know what we should do!  Why don't we highlight your hair?....with a home highlighting kit..smart!

Ok ok, it didn't turn out as bad as the movie makes it look :)  I actually am WAY proud of her.  She is like a professional!  Loving the color and the free du!  Just the front was a bit of a challenge but then it turned out just fine.."it's fine everybody"!!

Ok ready, set, go....we are ready for the plane, Mexico city and then FINALLY CHILE!!
