Standby

WOW! After 15 hours of trains, planes, and automobiles I finally made it home.

Friday 10:00:
We, being my family and friend Kevin, woke up today saddened by the fact that our amazing wonderful adventurous cruise had come to an end. After exiting the ship we headed to our shuttle and waited for 30 min before heading to the airport to check in. My Dad, Mom, and brother Scott got on their flights that they had purchased earlier, but Kevin, Mike, Cheltz, and I were flying standby, and this is where our adventure begins.
Friday 11:30:
Made it through security fine, got to our gate to wait. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 2:30. After sitting for about an hour we found out that all the seats were taken and that we were not going to get out of Miami anytime today. So, we we told our best bet would be to get to South Palm Beach by taking the '40' min train. We walked across the airport to catch the bus that would take us to the train, then got our tickets and barely settled in before we left the station. The ride ended up being and HOUR and '40' min, a little longer than we wanted, especially because the flight we were trying to get on left at 2:40.
Friday 2:30:
Yeah, we missed our flight and the bus to take us to the airport. We waited and waited finally arriving at the airport to get on our flight at 5:15. Luckily there were enough seats to accommodate all of us. HORRAY right? Well, this flight was to Charlotte, NC. Awesome.
Friday 6:36:
Landed in NC and figured out where and when our next flight would leave. 8:05 - Delayed. We were the last four to get on. The flight left an hour late so we flew in to Phoenix at around 10:30 (there was a three hour time change but it was a 5 hour flight). So we drove to and stayed at my sister-in-laws house that night after a delightful relaxing hot tub sitting.
Saturday 10:00
Good sleep, ate breakfast, showered, packed up, drove to the airport, checked in, got through security, got to our gate, waited, boarded at 1:40, landed in SLC at 4:00, drove home, ate, now I'm sitting on my couch, in my home.


I'm tired.


don't fly standby.
