Travel day from ... well you know.

Seeing how much I travel this really doesn't happen that often, but when it does it seems that it really hits the fan. Yesterday was one of those terrible travel days. It didn't start out well, with a 4:17 am wake up call from Delta telling me that my flight had been delayed until 10:30 am. Ok, so at least they called. I couldn't go back to sleep and I waited until it was time to leave. Half way there, another call, flight canceled. No reason just canceled and I was rebook through Oklahoma City, what?!?!? So I gave them a call and you would think that with as much flying as I do and the fact that I bought a full fare ticket would get me a good flight, but they claimed there was nothing they could do. Great, cross country in steerage...no worse, Regional Jet steerage.

Here is the view on the way back to the house.


So, I finally get to the airport and as I'm getting on the plane the flight attendant tells the people to please move into the rows to allow people behind to board. The douche in front of me mouths off to her. She thinks it me because she refuses to serve me a snack or drink during the flight.

After two hours turbulent h*ll on an RJ, with "Angry, I'll show him" flight attendant, I get to Oklahoma City. Hungry, thirsty, tired and just as I exit the plane, the snack shop closed. Enjoy the pictures because I waited here for the late plane that made me miss my connection to Alabama.

Downtown OKC.


The Terminal

That's my flight at the top, late by an hour and 10 minutes.

Look Mom no plane!


So, I finally get to Atlanta at about 10pm having missed my connection. I make my way to the hotel. I wait outside for a good half hour, board the bus and actually get to the hotel without problems!! Finally one good thing happens, I got upgraded to a junior suite. At least I will sleep well.



Ok, so today went without incident. Crummy prop plane ride to Dothan, Alabama and a 30 minute drive to Ft. Rucker.



I hope the way home is easier.
