so this weekend i went from NY to LA for my dad's 50th birthday--- it was really fun to see him and ali and mom and everybody from the family since they all met up at my aunts house in the oc. it was all great until last night when i went to orange county airport for my flight home----
actually the flight from OC to Newark(jersey) was a great red eye---- exit row, good room, pretty comfortable. then i got to newark at 430 this morning--- i had 3 hours to kill before my 8am flight from newark to syracuse.
then the fog set in. my flight was delayed an hour. then another hour. then it was cancelled all together. greeeaaaattt---
so they said that i could be routed through boston and catch a boston to syracuse flight this afternoon--- well, my flight to boston got delayed 2 hours (meaning i was stranded in newark liberty airport for over 8 hours) so that when we finally got to boston, it was 210. my flight to syracuse was supposed to leave at 2. oh, and it was continental's last flight of the day from boston to syracuse. so then they transferred me to US air--- it was a big hullabaloo because they are not codeshare partners, infact, they are enemies, so it was a challenge to get me on a flight. the new flight was a boston-syracuse at 4, getting into syracuse at 530.
meanwhile, my shuttle from syracuse to cornell runs every other hour, its last one being at 5. i told the airline that i would miss my shuttle and would not be able to get home. then i demanded a nights stay in a hotel in syracuse, and free transportation to ithaca the next morning. they said that they couldn't do that because it was all caused by the weather.
fuck fog.
so then i was like, well, i need to get home NOW, find a way to get me there--- and the guy then found a ticket for me to ithaca (home of dear Cornell). only catch was, it flew through philly. so i took a flight from boston to philly and waited in philly for two and a half hours.
you would be crazy if you guessed that i didn't eat and thoroughly enjoy a philly cheesesteak.
the philiadelphia airport also has a mall in it. so i bought myself a new pair of slacks, a pinstripe shirt and two pair of boxer briefs at GAP. then i got on my plane to ithaca and got here at 10.
MY BAGS, however, were on the next flight out of newark to syracuse later this morning. so they are sitting (theoretically) in the syracuse international airport an hour away from where i am now. i told them to deliver them to me, but since i last flew us air, continental said it was their problem. US air held the belief that continental had my bags last.
i dont give a shit who has them, i said, i need my bags tomorrow.
lets see if they show up on my doorstep.
grr... now i have to finish a problem set for tomorrow, have a review on wednesday, and a midterm on wednesday, and a midterm on thursday.
fucker!
