Flights were being canceled

The basis of just-in-time solutions for everyday people is no more than non-formal learning experiences. We have different experiences everyday. My experience at the Chicago O'Hare International Airport...

Flights were being canceled without a reason( good enough reason for me). No one could promise me a flight out to my destination for at least another 48hrs. This would place me at my destination after the Christmas holiday. I needed a solution! Technology came riding in on a white horse, through my digital internet connection, wrapped in Google's wrapping paper. I ended up catching the subway to the bus station. "How did I accomplish this after my first 24hrs in the airport?" I'll talk about later, just recognize the power of learning on the fly with the assistance technology and an overwhelming desire to escape.
