Finally here…what a story

I’ve flown many times, and never had a delay.  Well, of course the weekend that we are only gone for a short time- we have a delay.  Our first flight landed at 8:00 in Charlotte, NC.  We were supposed to have a 3 hour delay, board at 11 and be in Jacksonville at 12 midnight.  Weeeeelll…when we got to the gate for our 11pm flight, we found that it was delayed till 11:33. We were annoyed.  My mom thought we were joking.  Then, it changed to 12:03am, then 12:43am and we were flabbergasted.  We had been stuck in the airport since 8pm.  Everything was closed.  Ryan and Cam were sleeping on the floor.  Then, Cam noticed it changed to 1:05am and before we knew it, it was 1:25am. Most of the other flights were gone and it was us and another gate left in the terminal. The other gate, going to Cleveland, had some part broken on the plane and the mechanic couldn’t fix it. Some people were rerouted on other flights and some were put up in hotels till a morning flight. I was thankful that we were not them.  Finally, at around 1am, our plane came in with New Yorkers, who were en route to Atlanta but stuck in Charlotte till morning.  We boarded the plane and  finally arrived in Jacksonville at 2am. We were tired and ready to start our vacation.  We didn’t get to sleep until 3:30.

We’re on the way out to the beach.  See ya!
