flying

I recently just flew home to Chicago for spring break, since I don't know what else to blog about, I'm going to vent about flying. I'm sick of sitting at the window seat, next to people who are too consumed by their new Apple lap top to notice or respond to you when you ask politely to go to the bathroom. What's the deal with airlines making you pay for snacks now? What happened to meals in a box that they just give you? Why do they show 3 hour chick flicks like becoming Jane?After the flight sitting on the runway after you land for 45 mins because the airport doesn't have a gate ready. Then realizing that the airline put your bag on the wrong flight, so you have to sit at the airport baggage claim for 2 and a half hours waiting for you bag to arrive, after you've been traveling for 12 hours and haven't eaten all day. WOW, Thanks that felt better! So if you would like to vent about any poor flights or airport stories, feel free to do so. Or if you just want to vent about anything else which is relevant go ahead.
Thanks for listening.

That reminds me of a time flying back from Tallahassee. There's a saying there that if you live in Tallahassee, you have to stop in Atlanta to get to heaven, thats because almost every flight out of there goes through Atlanta. It was right after New Years and Atlanta was frozen over so we had to go through Orlando, to Dallas/Ft. Worth to Salt Lake, to SFO. Well we got stranded, and it was a choice between Dallas and SLC, we chose Dallas to avoid seeing my crazy aunt in Salt Lake. The airline put us in a hotel for the night and gave us meal vouchers free of charge which was awesome, but a day that should have taken 7 hours tops, took us 40 hours to get from my grandparents front door to ours. We could have driven faster than that.
