It has been a long time since I posted last, about our wonderful airplane ride... well I have to tell you about the second half of that trip. Our flight left La Guardia airport at 7:30, so we had to be at the airport at 5:30. Getting into the city was fine, no traffic that early. Once we got there, the line just to check in was HUGE. We waited in that line for almost an hour. Then we went through security and barely made it to our flight. Once we got on, we were informed that the flight was delayed because they were having trouble loading the bags. (RETARDED) We finally took off, about 20 minutes late. We had a layover in Houston and by the time we got there, we were getting a little nervous about making our connecting flight. We hurried off the plane and ran (Amazing Race style) to the terminal. As we got there, they were shutting the doors. We asked what we should do, when the next flight was and they told us to run to another terminal. Again, we ran (picture this.... I'm wearing slippers, pulling a bag, holding a bag, and a purse and my boots... I looked so silly!) We got the next terminal and they told us that we were supposed to get on a waiting list, and by now we were 15th on the list. No way we were going to make it! We decided to take a break and go get some food. After we ate, we went to customer service to find out what the next step was. There were 2 more flights that day to SLC and we were on the list for both. The only time we could get a confirmed flight was at 11 am the next day! We got some food vouchers (luckily) and saved those for dinner. We didn't make the next flight so our next option was at 6 pm. We waited in the terminal for the 6 flight and it was delayed til 10. At the last minute, they changed terminal and we ran! We were first in line and they told us this flight is over booked so run back to where you came from and get on that flight. We finally got on a flight at 11 that night! 12 hours in the Houston airport was way too long! Good thing we had Jack Bower to entertain us!
