Ok so this summer has been hectic...It seems like every time I get back to Miami I leave again for another trip. I just went to NY and had the most amazing time. I'm back now. The worst part though...that will interest you is that yesterday American Airlines had a red alert terrorist threat and all the computers were down. Planes were delayed five hours and it was a mess of an ordeal.
My mother and I did not know this so after landing in Miami at 8:00 and being kept hostage in the airplane on the tarmac till 1:00 AM we freaked out. This was mind you after a four hour flight and a two hour delay before the flight and then an hour and a half wait on the tarmac in New York before take off. I could have traveled back to london for this supposable simple flight.
I wish American had been honest with us and told us that the computers were down because at about midnight my mom called 9/11 when we were sitting on the tarmac in Miami. She said I don't know if there are terrorists in the cockpit but they wont let us out of the plane and we've landed. The 911 person said yes Mam don't worry we already know about it...blah blah. Turns out my mom wasn't the only one to call. I had to use my excuse of being hypoglycemic to get some first class pizza...
Don't you love it when you have to fight for food because you aren't allowed to get off the plane for four hours. Supposedly there was not a gate for our plane to go to because all the planes were backed up. The flight attendants did not explain to us about the Airline computer system being down because of terrorism. Maybe they did not know. But if the pilot knew he should have informed us instead of making the whole plane think we were under attack.
It was funny...when you know the flight attendants are giving free wine out...theres something wrong. Yes my mom got two bottles. Heres the catcher. My mom got so frustrated she said we are here in MIami and sitting on the Tarmac if you can't find a gate for us to get to then I am opening the emergency exit and walking off. Yes the flight attendant and my mom got in a fight and can you imagine the meet the parents scene when the cops come and escort Ben Stiller off the flight after he repeated the word Bomb several times. I guess if she had gotten arrested we would have gotten off the plane ... mission accomplished!
It was funny after the flight attendant went to go tell the pilot that my mom was going ape shit she turns to her neighbor and says oops dont let them arrest me.. haha anyway it was funny and it all ended well. After an eight hour total delay experience. Well anyone who knows my mom, shes southern and funny as heck, you can definitely see this situation play out!!
Oh and a message to the pilot when you tell us at 12 that we finally have found an available gate and will be driving over to it in fifteen minutes, don't have us wait another hour and then when we arrive to the gate, way past the fifteen min. time you said it would be, make us wait another half an hour because you couldn't find a jetway driver to stable the plane to the runway into the airport. Why didnt you ask the airline in the four hours we were waiting for the gate to have the jetway driver available. Or at least have it ready in the last hour we were waiting when you said it would only be fifteen more minutes. lol .....oh and if i took this well I wonder how Tony Danza from Who's the Boss felt sitting in first class all that time. hahahah! Anyway every minute of the experience home was liek the movie meet the parents. Everything seemed to go wrong to the point where you have to sit back and laugh!!!
P.S. New York is fabulous!!! The BOY FROM OZ is the greatest living play i've ever seen and HUGH JACKMAN HAS SO MUCH CHARISMA HE REALLY MAKES YOU LOVE HIM ON STAGE. I NEVER KNEW how great a play or an actor could be till I saw this man act! He was so good he stopped the play and started talking to the audience ...he really got you involved with him and he has so much humility and hot looks. What an amazing actor and man!!! It was so great to see my friend up in New York too and she looked incredible.
