A Minor Price to Pay on 9/11

My focus turned to figuring out what I should do in the mist of all the chaos. I decided that it would be best to rebook my flight and return home, so I checked out of my hotel and headed to the airport in a taxi. Upon arriving at O'Hare, I was told that the airport had been shut down and all flights were grounded. I jumped back into my cab and began calling the hotel to see if I could get my room again, which I was able to do.
