Our early-morning trip from Philadelphia to Chicago went well, but we waited for two hours on the O'Hare runway because of storms in the area. Finally, around 12:30 p.m. we took off. About a half-hour later the pilot announced there was a problem: A bird had apparently been sucked into the engine during takeoff and it wasn't safe to continue. We ended up burning fuel and returning to Chicago. Four hours in a plane with a net total gain of zero miles. So tonight, somewhat discouraged, we're stuck in a Comfort Inn without our luggage waiting for a 9 a.m. flight tomorrow.
