Current mood: 
mellow
mellow It's early Thursday morning and I'm still on the road. I left Austin yesterday, flew to Houston...waited...flew to Salt Lake City...waited...walked around the airport some more...waited...bought a buck o' nine salad from Burger King...waited...talked to my dad on the phone about real estate...waited....decided to go to the gate. Pleasent surprising chaos awaited me at the gate! Time to wake up?? People were swarming, I found a seat.
Delta decided to board all thirty of their flights in a five minute period, and one after another they started announcing they were over booked. MY TURN "The flight to Medford, OR has been over booked if you are interested in volunteering to stay behind for compensation please see the agent at the podium."
Picture me (and remember my hair is very blond now) casually walking up to the gate agent. I asked her what the compensation package included.
So I'm writing this blog from the comfort of my Radisson Hotel room in Downtown Salt Lake City. I ate room service for dinner. I woke up early and have been watching the sun rise over the beautiful, snow-covered Rocky Mountains (picture me back in Colorado, 'cause that's where I've been picturing my self). They've given me meal vouchers which I will be using very soon to eat breakfast, and they've given me many Delta Dollars which I will be able to use to buy my ticket to attend my good friend Sarah's wedding.
Now if only I had a change of clothes for my flight to Medford....OH well, looking forward to seeing my Dad and Lindea and my cats and perhaps some long lost Oregon friends.
