I spent 3 days in an airport because storms near Chicago caused a ripple of delays and cancelations all over the country, I was constantly being told "okay your new flight leaves in 5 hours" and I was in a city over 100 miles away from home with no transportation.

Overall I had tickets and replacement tickets for 9 flights. Honestly given some of the times we found out there was no plane, I didn't believe we would get to board even as they were calling boarding groups.

My destination was not to home (although in reread I an see how it reads that way), it was several states away to get to basic training. Won't be making that Great Mistake(s) again...

Well that's fair enough then. I bloody hate flying and airports!
