Next Year, I'm Walking to Cancun
Air travel is such a hassle, even when I don't self-sabotage. This morning, on a whim, I decided to unpack my laptop to see if I could print out my boarding pass. Lucky I did, because I discovered that my outbound flight was from Kansas City. I had booked a shuttle to the St. Louis airport. Embarrassing, but even moreso because I did the same thing last year. I had already missed the shuttle to Kansas City, most car rentals places were closed, and the one open was sold out of cars for the day. So, I drove myself, which actually turned out to be the cheapest option anyway. En route to the airport, I got a message from my mom that she was bumped from her first flight, so wouldn't make it to Cancun tonight as planned. Now, sitting in the terminal in the KC airport, I just heard an announcement that my flight is also overbooked and they're requesting people to give up their seats. I don't see anyone rushing to the podium to give up their seats. Hmmm. I hope I make it!
In other news, I ate lunch at McDonald's. I thought it would be great, because I actually like their double cheeseburger, and I've had very little fast food in the past 29 days. It was kind of gross. I ate it because it was my best option for food for several hours, but now I feel greasy and dirty, in addition to the violation I endured passing through security. On the plus side, the KC airport has wifi, so I can blog and surf for the next two hours!
