Original schedule for flying from Des Moines to Honduras:
Des Moines to Chicago- 10:40-11:50
Chicago to Cinncinati- 12:25-2:35
Cinncinati to Miami- 3-5:35
Miami to Honduras- 7:15-8:30
What ACTUALLY happened:
Des Moines flight was late.... left about 11:05
which meant I got to Chicago at 12:30. Which meant I missed my flight to Cinncinati.
A guy at the ticket counter found me a ticket that went straight from Chicago to Miami and I would still get there in time to take my original flight to Honduras.
until.... that plane had some problems and didn't leave until 5. Which meant I got to Miami at 7:20.... 5 minutes too late. :)
One thing that really irritates me about airports is the 18 billion signs that tell you where your gate is. When I got off the plane both times and thought, "Maybe I have a chance at making it to the gate..." I had to walk past all these signs. I was looking for D38 so there'd be a sign that said D1-80. Perfect. walk .... walk.... walk another sign D1-D60. more walking... D20-D60..... D25-D60.... Gall I wanted to scream!! But I didn't. I stayed calm. :) I talked to the people at the counter and got a ticket to leave tomorrow at 12:45. Sighhhhh. I just want to be there! But, I am staying in a nice, nice hotel room and the airline gave me free meal tickets. Tonight I sat at the bar, ate buffalo wings, and watched football ;) Thought I'd try to make my last night in America SUPER American :)
ANYWAY. Hopefully this is the last detour and I will be seeing Honduras tomorrow!
