Naturally we get to MCO at 5:15; we see right away that our flight is delayed until 9:30 so we now have just over 4 hours to wait
We aren't really hungry yet so we sit. And sit. And we're freezing. And then we get food and it's only 6:45 and we see that while no flights into NY (remember that's where we live) are delayed, our flight now gets delayed until 11. Which means we'll get in to CT at 2 and home by 3:30. OMG nobody was happy including mom and we were ALL showing how miserable we were! We decided well, let's just go through security what can we do, and once we go through our flight was delayed until midnight
Seriously!! Just our flight, no other flights from surrounding airports! Finally we found out that the plane
coming for us from JFK had major problems so they were "looking for" another plane to come get us......I can't make this up. So comforting, right? I mean I'm glad they weren't sending a plane with issues but, you can't FIND ONE FOR US? Where are your planes, people????? So now it's 8:15, 15 minutes from when we were originally supposed to leave but it feels like we've been at the airport for days. Steve is convinced it'll get cancelled and we'll be stuck there for the night; I'm saying we should just get a room right there but wait, my straightening iron is in my checked luggage this time because I'm stupid and will they give us our checked luggage if the flight gets cancelled? The BEST give it to me because I will look like a freak if I can't straighten my hair in the morning and I will NOT be happy! I'm very surprised Steve didn't just stay in Florida that night lol.
