Topic: Vaca to Sin City
My flight home was rediculous! i woke up late for my flight, (becuase i stayed up waaay to late) and by the time i got to the airport, i was a freakin mess. i did not want to leave vegas, i had only gotten an hour of sleep and i was hungry as hell. when i got there, i found out that i wasnt going to make my flight and just as i about gave up all hope, corrie appeared. i thought she had dropped me off and left for school. turns out, shes the most awesome corrie ever. she knew i was freakin out and came in to rescue me! The ticket counter guy was really cool about the whole thing (me being late for my flight) and booked me a flight later in the day at no extra charge! i about kissed the guy. so corrie and i got to spend some extra time together, had some breakfast and then i was off! as soon as the plane was in the air, i was out like a light. next thing i know, im being woken up by a flight attendant telling me to put my seatbelt on becuase we were beginning our descent. i strapped in and turned to the ladies behind me, "we're here already?"
"no," they said "we're emergency landing in oklahoma city. some guy back there - " (points to the back of the plane) "had a heart attack so we have to land."
Apparently, this guy had a major heart attack on the plane and i had slept through the whole thing. i fell back asleep before we were even off the ground again. When i woke up, we were descending on Atalanta, where i was going to catch my connecting flight at 8:54pm. as we were taxing to a stop, i checked the time, it was 8:50! i grabbed all my stuff and hustled to the front of the plane. just as i got there, the gate attendant opened the door. i ran off the plane and through the gate with the attendant close at my heels. i asked her where my connecting flight's gate was at, and she informed me that it was delayed till 9:30. phew! close one! so i took my time through the airport, got a bite to eat, and wandered to my terminal to wait. my flight got delayed till 955pm then 1020. they started letting passengers on at about 950. The first three zones boarded, and i was next in line, when they suddenly stopped taking tickets. and then, deboarding passengers! i was extremely confused. turns out, one of the flight attendants dropped a tray on her foot, so she wasnt going to be able to make the flight. We had to wait untill almost 1100p for a new flight attendant to get there so we could take off. after that, everything was smooth sailing. the guy in the seat next to me was gorgeous! arriving at toledo was at the same time the most comforting thing (home!) and the most despicable (snow!). i successfully made it back to my own bed, after a very, very long week.
