the first few hours of spring break

friday:
the limo is over a half hour late getting to my place...i am a bit nervous since it was rush hour and ohare is nuts always BUT flight #1 was delayed by 95 minutes so it was all good

apryl and jeff pick me up in cinncinnati so we can grab a quick bite with wiebes...as we are hanging out apryl checks and sees that she can get us on a better flight...BUT its leaving from dayton...about an hour away THIS HOUR IS MY ONLY SLEEP

we hop into the car and have arrived...we are good for the standby seats...we watch 7 planes take off to atlanta...we are desperate...so apryl's poppa comes for us so he can whisk us back to cinncinnati so we can fly to jfk (where we would be overnight) to atlanta to puerto rico

so then we had to uncheck our bags- mine was there oops apryl's is already is san juan! where we also have already prepaid for a hotel room which we will not be using...eh so it goes...i just wanna get on the boat

BUT then poppa calls and reminds us columbus is closer to dayton...so we quickly find out that there are some seats available...so they book us on the plane...and we are SPEED DEMONS down 70 to get the flight...oops we don't make it...by just a few minutes...no worries we can just take a breath...we are in the home stretch

we are now booked on the next flight to atlanta...first class at least (which we humbly believe that we deserve after being up for over 24 hours) as we are walking away we notice there is no reservation to san juan...hmmmmmmmmm welll.....ummm...there is no reservation to PR for you...just apryl...ok well let's see here...if you have a card we can sell you a super cheap new spot and only one $25 dollar flight transfer fee...so of course i hand it over (with only a little bit of attitude..i was only mildly annoyed and way tired)

i think this is all my fault because sometimes i have bad luck..i look particularly unattractive when i have been awake for so long...but so it goes...it will help me cling to the fact that i think the rest of the week will be AMAZING

Hey Son! It's Mandy. I CAN'T (actually I can) believe your first day of vacation. I hope by this time you're laying on the beach having a delicious alcoholic beverage.
