Thanks for the advice -- I will calm down some. My first trip to the east coast (Boston) after living in California my whole life, I was stranded there for 2 nights because of a storm. BUT I certainly hope things are handled better than at ORD (I suspect they are). After being delayed or cancelled there about 5 of 7 times I now refuse to transfer through that airport and try to avoid flying out of it as much as possible.

Edit: just noticed your post, yes I am currently living in San Diego. We almost always only get delays because of bad weather in other cities. Of course if we ever got even a tiny bit of snow it might shut down the airport for a week.
