Oh... This is a story.
So yesterday, I was supposed to travel Morgantown, WV to Washington, DC to Seattle, WA.
I get to the Morgantown airport, to learn my flight is delayed 35 minutes. No big deal I originally had just under a 2 hour wait time. (That is 2 hours from landing in DC at normal time, to when my plane was to leave.) -- Well due to strong wind problems, the plane had problems coming from DC - Morgantown. But first it had to stop in Clarksburg, WV as it always does. So, it's running pretty late..... Flight was to leave at 245, and it kept getting delayed, come 4:00 the plane lands... Now, we're excited, I've got a 5:39 plane to Seattle. -- And it's an hour flight to DC I'm thinking "i'm gonna make it sweeeeet." Wrong.
Someone vomited on the ride from Clarksburg to Morgantown in row 9 (my row, oh joy.) So they had to take the time to clean it. 4:28 we're all on the plane. -- We land in DC, as in on the runway, at 5:22 with 17 minutes. We wait, get taxi'ed, I see I have 11 minutes as we're approaching the gate. I was in row 7 now, I ask if I can get off the plane first so i can run and attempt to make it. Everyone stays seated so I can try, I run down the stairs across the thing into the building. (Why did I wear flip flops?)
I run into the building, see the sign towards main terminal as i'm in A and knew I'd have to get to D. I'm RUNNING and I hear "GO!!" from some guy and I'm running around people, through people, and even jumping over a few peoples bags DETERMINED to make this flight! I get to the first monitor... but it was all the express flights, and I here "NICK! D-9" I'm like "what?" I turn, and there's my friend Josh and he says "DELTA-9 GO!" and i start running, hop on the connecting train thing, and he makes it on too, and i'm like "oh, hi, nice to visit, i'm gonna try to make it" I get off the train, and i start ruuuuuuunnnnnning again. I even hoped over another person's bag.... I get to the gate I kid you not at 5:38 (with 1 minute to spare!)!!!!
They'd already pulled the walkway from the plane, and I see that. i see the women and i just said, "you're gonna tell me I missed it..." And she's like "yeah... sorry... you missed it..." And i'm like "uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh."
And that's why I had the lovely chance to sleep on my friend's couch tonight. lol
I'm telling you, I only have travel problems when going home!
