Airport Adventures, Continued……

We are having yet another airport adventure. We’ve had many, so here is just another one to add to our travel logs. We were originally flying out of New Bern, NC to Ontario, California on December 26th. Just a small glitch, the storms in other areas affected the aircraft coming in to our non weather problem flightline. Instead of the 50 seater a 35 seater arrived. It was fully booked 50 seater, so yeah, some of us weren’t getting on. Unfortunately we were one of the ones not getting to fly on that plane, or that day! There is only one l fight a day going out. It was kinda like a Space A flashback…… BUT, they did give us $450.00 a person in US Airways vouchers for showing up and trying to fly! Kadena just said, sorry, plane still broken, flight cancelled, or didn’t call our name due to not enough seats and we dejectedly got back in our van and drove back to our concrete house to try again the next flight. We had a 9:05 am flight this morning, much better than the 7 am flight yesterday that made getting up at 3 am soooo NOT fun! Got to sleep till 5 am today. Oh, our luggage made the flight, so it was interesting getting ready this morning with NOTHING! But then it was kinda cool leaving for the airport with like NOTHING!!! We got on a tiny little plane and flew to Charlotte, NC where we got to wait for 4 ½ hours for our next flight. Sooooo fun, NOT. But, I love watching people at the airport! Have you ever ran up to a stranger at an airport and pretended you knew them and began talking to them and telling them how excited you were to run into them after all these years and how funny to run into them at that particular airport? You have to do it, it is soooo funny! But, be careful at an international airport, ‘cause like when they don’t speak English, well it is just like AWKWARD!!! But still funny and like the odds of running into them again are pretty slim! I was going to do that today, but decided I would spare my kids the embarrassment…..maybe on the trip back. Yippee, they are calling our flight!!! 4 hours has flown by fast!!!
