There were a couple that had connections, but by the time they made announcements ours would not be leaving, it was too late. They're giving hotel vouchers to people who are not local, which is not me. If I can get my husband to wake up, he can come get me. Or I can Uber home. Seems crazy to turn around and come back in less than 5 hours. Grrr...thank goodness I'll be on a 🛳 soon to put this behind me. Oh, the AA people I talked to said whenever you want flight info to check Google rather than their app or website. They said Google updates before their systems. I did not know that.🤷♀️ 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted December 21, 2023 #128 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Try and get some rest if possible.....you're doing a good job of keeping your eye on the prize of your cruise. Kudos for the positive attitude during a sucky situation. ~Nancy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos for the positive attitude during a sucky situation. ~Nancy Getting ready to head back over to the other gate and see how many people are hanging around there. It's a ghost town over here. Except for food deliveries to closed restaurants. That's where my voucher food and all the quarters came from. They just got another delivery, so now you can'tsee their Christmas decorations. There's nobody here but me, wonder if the forklift driver expects me to handle those pallets. If so, I'm gonna need my voucher and money back. And I'm keeping the $3.35 of change they gave me. Geez, he just brought another pallet. Doesn't he know I have an early flight? I can't be working freight, lol. Why is that sentence underlined? Why is this one underlined? I promise, I do know how to use my phone. 4 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted December 21, 2023 Author #130 Share Posted December 21, 2023 They keep coming - at this rate, there will be pallets all down Terminal C. This is a different driver. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BetsyS. Posted December 21, 2023 #132 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I am so sorry to hear that your flight was cancelled. ☹ I'm praying that you will get a new flight soon. I am turning in, but when I get up tomorrow I hope you will have good news to share. Best of luck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decided to stay since I have to be back so early - fingers crossed, we board 5:25. Drive home & back is roughly 45 min, say hello & goodbye to pups is another 15 min. Then try to decompress fast enough to get any 💤 😴 🛏, I decided it wasn't worth it. Then deal w/security again, double ugh. Found a great couch only a couple gates from a rr, so all the comforts of home, lol. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Haljo1935 Posted December 21, 2023 Author #135 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Ok, good morning! I have turned over the comfy couch to another weary traveler who I'm sure will enjoy it. The monitor shows we board in 50 min, fingers crossed 🤞 Since we've been here before, I plan on being at the counter so if it's a no go, I can be among the first to secure a spot on one of the next flights. But I have faith in the Restored Flight Fairy 🧚♀️ I know she'll come through. She will undo the bad work her evil twin the Canceled Flight Fairy did. How do I know? Because, yes, Virginia, there is a Santa 🎅 Claus. 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Haljo1935 Posted December 21, 2023 Author #137 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Smattering of holiday decorations as seen during a midnight stroll through the airport. Joy to the world - we have a gate agent ... with a line 10 deep 🤨 This little jingle ball lost its J and Y... hope it doesn't channel its inner Humpty Dumpty and fall off that pedestal. Wreaths galore, even on doors (you can't really be sure it's a door cuz I cropped the handle out)... And what is she wearing on her head? I do not ❤️ this airport right now. Not holiday decor, but it did bring up some emotions that I needed to share. Oops, wrong group, lol.

Happy Holidays! @Haljo1935 Our Hawaii cruise was the first time as well. Pearl Harbor was the highlight and I feel an absolute must see. The key to our voyage was flexibility. Our first stop, Kauai , was only a few hours in duration because there was an airlift med evacuation enroute and we had to divert course a bit. Then Maui was eliminated due to high seas, causing a second full day in Hilo...which was fine, but not unexpectedly on the rainy side. Volcanos NP was our choice with a rental car with lunch in the park restaurant overlooking Haleakala. Kona is easy peasy on your own and there are some nice sidewalk restaurants . The ship was great, loved the music walk. They had the best music , rock band was fabulous and BBking blues band fab as well. I will be interested in how you like the inside cabin. My hubby would take an inside in a heartbeat but I cant do it...yet..who knows, maybe sometime I will give it a try. Maybe you will be my inspiration!. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Haljo1935 Posted December 21, 2023 Author #141 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I'm leaving at a good time - calendar says there's a hard freeze headed to my town. I've not seen that before. If they do that in the summer for heat advisories, the calendar will be orange for months... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can feel the anxiety from here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - I finally got out and am now in San Diego!! We had a med emergency on our flight that almost caused us to detour to Phoenix, but we didn't. Yay for us and yay for the passenger. What a flight!! Many dogs flying this holiday season. This one has no carrier - are they no longer required for flights? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
