Singing the PDX blues
Stop the madness. Trapped like rats at Portland Airport when we should have been 2 1/2 hrs into our flight to Hong Kong.
We left home at 4:30 and got here at 6:30 for a 9AM flight to San Francisco. First they said 1 hr delay and I thought "OK, we have 3 hrs between flights. We can still make it." One hour later they boarded the plane and we sat there going nowhere. Finally they made us get off the plane. By then I realized that we weren't going to make our connection so I asked if they could please take our bags off the plane but no can do.
So now we've been sitting here for 10 hrs and have another 4 to go. We've been routed thru LAX ,Hong Kong and Singapore. Our trip is now about 21 hrs longer due to the 12 extra hrs here in Portland plus a 9 hr layover in Hong Kong. Our bags are in San Francisco and no one can tell us how or when they will get to Sri Lanka.
Did I mention that I hate to fly?
