My day. It was full of FAIL!

I write, because I know you can understand.

I have a week long thing in NM that starts at 8:00 tomorrow morning. I am currently sitting in my la-z-boy in MD having spent over 14 hours in Philadelphia Int'l trying to get a flight out. Cancellation after cancellation, endless thunderstorms, a near riot by a gate full of Miami-bound Cuban Americans who were strung along for 6 hours before canceling their flights. I read an entire paperback. Texted my DH a bajillion times, walked speed laps up and down the whole airport. Stalked a bunch of flights trying to get stand by. More FAIL!!

Finally I call the special 800 number for refugees and get told that if I want to fly out of Philly, its not going to happen before Tuesday! Hah! I'm going out of BWI tomorrow at 0-dark-thirty but I'm missing half of my first day at my very important event.

Grrr.... the alarm is set for 0300 tomorrow.

Yikes! We're supposed to fly out Thursday morning! Hope we don't have too many delays! At least if we're delayed a day, it won't be too bad, because we're actually getting to H'burg a day earlier than we needed to be there. I wanted a day to do all the shopping for stuff that Joseph will need for his dorm room.

It has been a bear of a summer for flying, at least this last half of it has been.

Oh my... That's nasty. I'd say I know how you feel but that's even worse than what I've put up with over the years. Hang in there! Hope your week goes better!
