If you're up for a good story... here ya go!
So I'm HOME!!!! I'll be home until like January 7th... I think that's the day me and Evan are gonna leave to drive back. Yeah, you heard me. Mine and Evan's asses are driving my car the 14 hours back to Tallahassee, just because I'm too much of a princess not to have a car. hahaha
Anyways... here's my good story of yesterday.
First off, my roomie Stephanie and I were up until 5:30 yesterday morning cleaning and rearranging our room hardcore, plus i had a shitload to pack, so I was running on only 2 hours of sleep yesterday.

My plane left Tallahassee at about 11:45 yesterday morning- it was supposed to be a direct flight with a stop in Charlotte. So when we got the Charlotte, all the DC people were supposed to just stay on the plane as originally told, but the flight had a crew change, so everyone had to get off the plane. Alright, that's cool. Not a big deal. So I got off the plane, used the facilities, then reboarded about 20 minutes later.
We were in the air for atleast a half hour, we were definately closer to our destination of DC in comparison to Charlotte. So around this time, the captin comes on the speaker and says something along the lines of, "We're having some kind of navigational problem up here in the cabin. It shouldn't be dangerous for the aircraft, but we're going to have to turn around and fly BACK TO CHARLOTTE because we don't have the capability to land in DC." WHAT THE SHIT!!! We were closer to DC!!!!!! So, we turned around and right before we were about to land, then flight attendents notify us that this flight is canceled once we're landed. So pretty much, everyone on the flight had to go book a different flight for that day, or even wait overnight and get a different flight out the next day. We landed in Charlotte at about 3:40, where my plane was supposed to have landed in DC by 3. I called my mom and she was like "where are you??" because apparently the moniters at Dulles said that our plane had landed... unfortunately it had landed in NOT DC!!! haha so anyways, my mom checked with the US Air people, and she found out that they had already rebooked me on a 5:05 flight to DC. I got soooo lucky that my flight was at that time.
At about 4:45, I boarded my new flight and prepared myself for my second departure from Charlotte. As I sat and gazed out the window next to me, I saw a little truck with about 5 or 6 bags of luggage on it. I glanced at the luggage and noticed that one of them was my blue duffle bag! I was all like HEYY!!! THAT'S MY BAG! As the guy unloaded a couple of bags from the truck , I also noticed that he wasn't grabbing mine. He got back into the truck, and DROVE AWAY with my duffle bag still in the back. As I watched the truck disappear from my sight, I thought to myself that I would never get to see that bag again today. I just knew it.
I finally landed at Dullus around 6:30, met my mom, and waited for my luggage. I got my big suitcase, but guess what I didn't get... my blue duffle bag! It was amazing. The guy told me that it had probably been sent to a different airport on accident. Shocking, i know.
Luckily, after all that craziness and confusion, I got home safely. My duffle bag was delivered to my house ass early this morning.
The end.
