Adventures in Minnesoooota
So, what's worse than sitting in a cramped plane on a runway in Memphis for 2 hours? Finding out that the last plane that could possibly take you home has left without you and you're pretty much screwed. So then the generous airline gives me a 5 minute phone card for my inconvenience and basically wishes me luck in my quest to find shelter. So then i call the hotline with distressed traveler rates and discover the cheapest in town is $55, which i really don't have. After giving the airline a really sad face, they gave me $10 for food, which was cool, but not NEARLY as cool as being stranded 1500 miles from anyone i know in the middle of titty-ass-cold land. So i decided the only thing i could do was wander the airport for 14 hours until the next flight to sacramento left.
But then...wait...what's this? a sign for the armed forces services center? free food and beds 24/7? Do i hear the halleluia chorus coming from somewhere? So i go check the place out, and yeah, it's awesome. A frickin christmas miracle on titty-ass-cold 34th street, MN. Who's got free food and lodging and gets to watch Conan? Me! OH YEAH.
So, yeah, i'm delayed, but that aside, things couldn't have turned out better.
Merry Christmas everyone!
