Is that how the lyric "from C to shining C" come from?  ;-)
I TOLD you not to woooorry.

Bad weather in Dallas (DFW) cancelled our AA flight to LAX via DFW,
from ATL.  I could have taken a re-route that would have gotten me to
LAX at about the same time.  But I chose the one to arrive two hours
later, via Sh*tcargo (aka Chicagah), cuz it's about 300 (FF) miles
longer.  :-)

I left my laptop at home so I won't be tempted to waste my time on the
internet, but alas, the damned hotel provided 24hr FREE and unlimited
usage of its ISP already set up!  Drat!  :-)

Here we go again, Mark.  You SHOULD care!

The CZM flight to IAH always arrives in terminal D (International)
where you go through customs and luggage RE-CHECK.

From THERE, you'll probably have to go to terminal C of IAH to go
back to EWR or elsewhere.

But the tightest bottleneck is likely the (little) time you have for
connecting flights on your RETURN.  THIS is when you may have to run
like hell if you should be caught in long immigration lines in IAH.

Now my recommendation of you using the escalator at the EXIT of D
(when you return) to go to C, rather than taking any train/monorail
(or other routes) is applicable, again.  :-)
