A I R P O R T

Last night, most unfortunately, Mitch and I got stuck in the airport FOREVER. Seriously forever. In fact, I was losing hope that we were never going to get home.

Here is a little timeline of our afternoon yesterday:

3:20 pm: Arrive at the airport for our 4:12 pm flight.
4:12 pm: No flight.
5:00 pm: They inform us our flight will leave at 7:00 pm. I am thinking to myself, "This is great, at least we will make our connection in Minneapolis."
6:15 pm: I have been waiting in line for 30 minutes to find our if we can get on another flight. And oh, yes we can get on another flight on Monday at 4:12 pm. Yea, right.
7:15 pm: Our flight is supposed to leave at 8:00 pm. I am losing any sort of hope for making our layover.
8:15 pm: Mitch and I enjoyed a McFlurry, Oreo of course.
9:15 pm: Still waiting. still waiting.
9:20 pm: Our flight has been changed to 10:07 pm. I can deal with this. We will just sleep over in Minneapolis.
10:05 pm: Our flight is changed to 10:47 pm.
10:45 pm: They board the plane.
10:46 pm: They un-board the plane. The crew timed out. Awesome.
10:48 pm: They inform us, that they THINK they will be able to get a crew to take us at 1:00 am.
11:00 pm: The fire alarm goes off. Most annoying sound.
11:15 pm: The fire alarm goes off again. The sound is still annoying.
12:00 am: The fire alarm goes off again. We are still waiting ever so patiently for a crew.
12:45 am: The crew arrives. There are cheers.
1:30 am: We board and leave.
3:00 am: We arrive in Minneapolis.
3:08 am: Mitch and I sleep like homeless people on the airport floor. We also find our there are no FLIGHTS to Rochester until 9:35 pm. Again, yea right.
6:0o am: Wake up. I really love waking up in the airport.
6:48 am: We take a shuttle to Rochester as the snow welcomes us.
8:30 am: Arrive at our home, sweet home.

Happy Monday.

Such an ordeal! Bet you never thought you'd be so happy to get home to Rochester. Glad you made it back. And glad that McDonalds was there when you needed it.
