Tampa, Florida-- A blizzard across the northeast coupled with the busy post Christmas travel rush are leaving some passengers stranded in Tampa for days.
The Daponte family arrived back from a Carnival cruise on Sunday only to find out their flight back to Providence, Rhode Island got canceled.
"I'm just tired and I just want to go home. It's been a long three days I tell you," said Joe Daponte, who was traveling with his wife and several other family members.
While some are making the most of their unexpected time in Tampa, others are upset over the cost of booking extra hotel days.
"This is money we weren't expecting to spend," said Francine Achbar, who is trying to fly back to Boston.
Some passengers rushed to rebook canceled flights over the phone.
