So both of my flights today have been delayed… what luck!
First, my flight from Ontario to Dallas was delayed an hour. So I had to be given a new flight out of Dallas to Orlando. Originally, I was supposed to land in Orlando at approximately 8:50pm. After the first delay, it was moved to 10:00pm. Now… 11:30pm.
I’m in the Dallas airport. And my second flight is delayed an hour and a half. I feel bad for my roommate, Tram, who is driving to the airport to pick up me and our friend, Jojo. I feel a little better that Jojo’s flight out of NYC was delayed from 8:30 to 10:30. At least I’m not the only one dealing with an inconvenience. :\
Well anyways, now I’m sitting at the gate’s charging station. My cell phone was almost dead as I was running off my first flight (details below), and my camera died before I could even take a single picture today!
My first flight… that was an interesting experience. The story begins with me ordering my iced coffee at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. As I’m putting my soy milk in my coffee, this guy (reading the Canadian jacket I’m wearing), asks if I’m from Canada. I laugh and say no, explain that family is, and then kind of awkwardly walk back to the gate.
Well guess who I’m sitting next to… yeah, you probably guessed right, it was Mr. Are You From Canada. His name was Mike**, works at an ice rink at a university in Virginia. WELL. This guy believed we were star-crossed lovers. He talked for at least 2 hours about his relationship with God and the importance of religion before I was given the chance to sleep. By the end of the flight I was being called pet names and he was talking about fate & destiny. Oh goodness gracious.
As soon as we landed I tried to get the heck out of there, as politely as I could. :P
Besides the flights being delayed, and dealing with Mr. Are You From Canada (what a classic pick-up line)… my day hasn’t been too terrible. Not exactly overjoyed that the DFW doesn’t offer free WiFi though. What the heck.. Really?! 2011 and you can’t give a girl some internet for anything less than $10/hour?? Oh well.
I honestly can’t complain. I’m traveling the world for 4 months. This is just one little bump in the long, beautiful road.
And one last thing… HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I LOVE YOU!
