I'm sorry the trip wasn't what you were hoping for. But you did it and one day you will smile fondly at the memory and have a little chuckle at how the whole trip turned out. Because laughter is sometimes the only way to stop yourself from crying or swearing at the frustration of it all. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks everyone. Yeah, this thread was really my way of getting out all the frustrations of the day. Glad people found the humor in it. fortunately the trip home went find. Everyone was separated enough on the plane that they couldn't cause any harm to anyone. And outside of my aunt trying to buy everyone an ice cream at Cold
stone with 7 bucks (that is not enough to cover one serving with tax!) nothing too amusing happened, so I don't have any more to write about. I did end up sitting across the aisle from a coworker who I didn't know was headed down there this weekend also, so I didn't even break my streak of running into someone I know every trip to Orlando I take!
May all your journeys at least be amusing.
