But instead I am in my home in TX. I actually got up at 4:30 IN THE MORNING to leave my house at 5:30 IN THE MORNING!! I am packed, car is loaded, mp3 player is full, let's go. As we pull out of the driveway C says to me DFW or LOVE? I say DFW, he says, what gate? (since this is a HUGE airport this is really a smart question.) I call the airline and after working my way through many different ‘menu options’, I am finally able to speak w/ a representative!
Rep: "Your flight has been delayed by at least an hour." was her friendly response to my question. This will get you to Atlanta at ‘x’ time.
Me: Well, that won’t work b/c then I will be missing my connecting flight to Islip.
Rep: We have a flight out of Atlanta at ‘x’ time and it arrives at Islip at ‘x’ time.
Me: What? You want me to sit in Atlanta for 8 hours? ARE YOU INSANE????
Rep: It is our only flight out of Atlanta. I can get you on a flight out of DFW later in the day, but you still won’t arrive into Islip until 11pm.
Me: This won’t work for me. I don’t have anyone to pick me up at Islip that late in the evening. Are their flights available tomorrow for the same time that I was supposed to fly today?
Rep: I’ll check.
She comes back on the line after a rather lengthy absence, which to me, seemed long enough for her to go pee and refill her coffee cup, but WHATEVER!
Rep: Ok, yes we can get you on tomorrow’s flights. Everything will be the same as today, just tomorrow.
Me: Let's just hope there are no 'delays'.
I'll see you tomorrow New York!
Soooooooooooo, I get to wake up at 4:30 IN THE MORNING again tomorrow! Oh joy!

What a pile of poooo....getting up that early 2x in one week should be against the law. LOL Sorry about the delays. Hopefully tomorrow will work out right.

bummer girl....hopefully tomorrows flight will be good and no problems.
Poor kids get blamed for everything - this story violates the first 3 reasons you don't have/want kids and there were no kids involved!!
Love ya- Have fun in New York!!!
Holy Blogger Chica....when did you change this?? Is it beta? Spill it!!
Holy toledo, Batman! I go to sleep, I wake up, and BAM...your digs have changed! I love it! And the tagline is perfect!
That sucks!! When we went to Seattle our connecting flight was in Phoenix and we missed both our connector there and back and they wouldn't cover it! It was awful. Hopefully it was Spirit because that's what we flew!
Let's hope tomorrow isn't exactly like today! Right?
I had to do a double take to see if I was at the right blog!!! Cool! I like it! Sorry about the delay. That's a bummer. And waking up a 4:30 twice... OUCH!
