Time to fly? ...no?!?!

So I found out a few days ago my flight is today at 6:30 am! The day started with me being way to excited/nervous to sleep so I ended up staying up all night long since I figured I can just sleep on the plane! So mom and dad wake up at 3am and we are ready to head to the airport! We arrive at SFO and are told THERE IS NO PLANE for the flight SFO to JFK! We are hustled into a super long line and are told to just wait there. A half hour goes by and ...nothing. 5am comes around and...nothing. 6am finally comes and someone finally starts checking people in! We are told they do not have a plane for any of us and they are going to try to make arrangements so we can all make our connecting flights! I'm wondering how in the heck you book a 200 person flight and forget to book the plane they are flying on...nice going Delta airlines!!! haha! So we finally get to the front of the line and are told that we can't fly until tomorrow at 8am! So we get tickets for that flight and our connecting flight to Venice! As we are waiting for her to get our tickets situated I look around and see none other but Kristen Vellinger, my really good friend from high school who I haven't seen in a year! We had a quick catch up and she left to catch her plane. I get my ticket along with the other 2 Camp adventure staff. Luckily we are sitting next to one another tomorrow! We were given a $200 Delta plane ticket voucher and were told we could check 2 bags for free! They were handing out $200 to every single passenger on that plane who got delayed! The woman doing our tickets, Sunny, was a supervisor and told us she would allow us two bags to check which helps so much since my bag was 56 lbs and it can only be 50! So as of right now I'm home and rested and ready to start this whole adventure again tomorrow morning (assuming they get their act together and remember to schedule a plane)! haha :)

Ciao for now!

  1. As much as I disliked the early wake up (3:30am on Sunday and 5am on Monday) to the airport, I really liked the extra day we got to spend with Kim and her fellow camp instructor, Taylor (soon to be her European traveling buddy). Looking forward to hearing about their adventures!
