Ships and Dip III - Day 0: Travelling to Miami, or "Oh, God, Here We Go Again"

Feb 11, 2008 23:10

My trip started as they usually do -- with me not being able to get to sleep. After packing up my bags, I don't think I finally fell asleep until 12:45am or so. My alarm went off at 4:15am so I could get to the airport in time for my 7:15am flight. I always want to be at the airport in plenty of time; I've had enough experiences with flights ( Read more... )

I am so sorry, I had no idea the flights were so bad. I wonder if I would have even been able to make it out of CWA that day...

Actually, I was just thinking how smoothly his trip out went.
He got there the same day, with only some minor irritants.

Bad would have seen his first flight get cancelled completely, unable to transfer with a non-refundable ticket and have to purchase a whole new flight plan for the following day, which itself would have had severe complications culminating in another cancellation, but being able to get a later flight that would have been delayed at some point on the rout to the point where he arrived just in time to see the ship leave the docks. Throw in lost/stolen luggage and substitute airport security humiliation resulting in a missed flight instead of cancellation for good measure.

Have a good time, Phil! Hopefully this was the worst of it.
