Well, today we are heading back to Wisco in the Jeep Cherokee. I would like it noted that I am not a fan of this long drive nor am I thrilled to be sitting in a car for the next 24 hours, but we are able to bring the dogs with us this way. Plus, it can’t be any worse than my travels last year. For those that don’t remember, let’s recap.
I woke up on Friday at 5:30am and went to work. From work I went to the airport to catch my 5pm flight which had a stop in Minneapolis. Once we got there they said my flight was delayed until midnight, well midnight rolled around and my flight was delayed until 8am. Keep in mind that I am traveling alone and Andy was already in Madison. I found a bench in the airport and parked it. I spent my time on the phone talking to people and playing Tetris on my phone, but I mostly spent my time pissed off as I lay on the bench looking like a homeless person who was freezing her butt off. Finally, 6am rolled around and I was able to get some breakfast. After wandering around for a while I head back to my gate to find that I was delayed another hour. We finally boarded at 9am, but didn’t take off until 10:30am. We get to Madison only to find out the fog was so thick that we couldn’t land so we hovered for about 30 minutes before they took us back to Minneapolis. Once I got back there they told us they were going to send us to Madison by bus and the bus will be there at 3pm so be ready. Well, 3pm turned into 6pm which is about the time that I lost my mind in the airport because I was a frustrated woman with not sleep who has been awake for 37 hours now. The buses finally came at 7pm and I barely made it to Madison at 1:30am on Sunday morning because the roads were so bad. I got to my parents house at 2am and got a few hours of sleep before it was time to get up and smile pretty for family photos.
Now, how can driving across country for 24 hours be worse than that? If it is I will seriously have to think about my Christmas travels next year.
