longest trip ever
This may or may not be one of the worst mornings of my entire life. I have been up since 8:45 am yesterday morning. It is currently 7:09 am on the third.
The schedule for the day was simple; go to Newark Airport by 12 am, get on the US Airways flight to North Carolina at 5:20 am, transfer flights and arrive at LAX at 9:34 am. Instead my ticket did not process when I booked the flight over the phone two and a half weeks ago. Instead of using the dividend miles account like the woman had said, she simply reserved the seat and did not make a deduction from the account. Therefore when the service desk at US Airways opened this morning, there was no ticket to be had. Simply a reservation. The only way the ticket could be approved is if the owner of the dividend miles account (my Grandparents) verifies whether or not the reservation is accurate as well as appropriate.
After tears, rude service clerks and many failed attempts to verify the information- all at 5 o’clock in the morning, mind you, I missed the flight completely! How was I meant to go home after all of this? What was I going to do? I have been excitedly anticipating this trip to see Brent for 3 weeks! How could this all happen the day of?! I was pitiful. Sobbing. Face beet red, sniffling. My Mother is coming to pick me up from the airport- me, the deflated, worthless sniffling pile of poop! And what do you think happens next?
Brent saved the day. He bought my ticket with the money he was going to use for our little get away up the coast, “What’s important is that we see each other”-- I don’t think I could ask for a better boy. Remember now kiddies, he is 3 hours behind me. At 3 am his time, Brent was calling Delta, making a flight reservation for Elysia Sachs. Now, in order to verify that he Brent Mason, is in fact the cardholder he must to drive to Burbank airport for 5:15 am. So that once it’s in their system by (G-d willing 8:20 am EST) I will have time to get the ticket, and board. I am so freaking tired.
slash... I made it... its now friday and I am still a bit sleepy. I had been traveling for 23 hours and stayed up for 41. Last time I will be doing that! kinda awful. But I am so happy here. Which makes up for everything else. We’re having Shabbat tonight :o)
