Torture!!! It's good that I am sane and calm. Otherwise I would had exploded by now.
Started out in Kenai, arrived at the airport there at 9 40 PM. Flew into Anchorage, got a pat down. Plane took off at 1 AM.
Next stop, Salt Lake City, "enjoyed" a three hour layover there. Had the dirty chai and some yogurt with fruit.
After that I landed in Gillette, Wyoming. I was supposed to have a four hour layover there, which in itself is way too long.....
That layover lasted almost NINE hours. Yeah, NINE loooong hours being uncomfortable in a hard chair with NO food, there was nothing there
besides some vending machines, had a vitamin water.
And on top of it, TSA must think that I am a terrorist or something.....they went through all my carry on, thoroughly.
Not that I cared too much, had one of my platform heels in my carry on, the lady looked at it for a long time (it could be used as a weapon after all), in my Hello Kitty make up bag - five pairs of lashes......
There was even talk of a cancellation due to bad weather at my destination. So when I finally got on board I was exhausted, to put ot mildly, frustrated and starving. And because I had been sitting on my ass for so long I got a rash on my butt. SEXY!
I have to admit, I broke down, felt sorry for myself and cried a few tears into my pink cashmere scarf.
But then I pulled myself together. The stewardess made me some coffee with creamer and sugar and I felt better.
Why cry when there are people with real problems out there?
I arrived at 11 15 PM, with all the time changes I must have been traveling for about 24 hours and not really slept for much longer than that.
With all this time spent up in the air in various aircraft's I could had been at the foot of Ayers Rock by now.
Maybe sometimes in the future......
