Unbelievable.

Poor Colby. Today has been a TERRIBLE day for him (and me too). Hence the title of this post. "Unbelievable."

Last night Colby left Spokane at 7:30p (WA time). His flight left a little late, but nothing major. Then he arrived to Seattle - a little late. His flight was delayed and he took off from Seattle, you guessed it! .. a little bit late. So on his red-eye from Seattle to Philadelphia (yes -- this entire trip was ridiculous) some lady passed out *from my new knowledge, probably because the dumb ass sat for too long with poor circulation or had her knees locked thereby preventing proper blood flow to her (evidentially) small brain. Now, not only did they land in Phili late - they made them sit on the tarmac while the paramedics came to look at the lady and so he got off his flight that was supposed to land at 6:38am at 7:20a. He now had to RUN through two terminals and of course, did not make his connection. US Air put him on their next flight to San Juan, Puerto Rico that was supposed to get him to SJU at 1:47p .. obviously late for his 2:30p flight -- with a totally different airline. Not only did it leave 30 mins late, it arrived to SJU 45 mins late. Because we live on this small little island, travel to Dominica for the day had ceased (at 3p) and now Colby is sleeping at the Best Western attached to the airport (courtesy of US Air) and because all of Liat's *the Caribbean airline he is scheduled on, the only one besides American Eagle that flies here* flights are booked for tomorrow .. he is STAND BY for a 10:50a flight that has 3 stops and will take 6 hours to get home .. and if he doesn't get on that hellish flight, well, guess what!!??? We get to get a $37.00 refund from Liat and spend $355 on an American flight to get him home tomorrow.

What a freaking mess.

I just want him home damnit! I miss my boy!

... ANNNNNND I have surprises for him and he has my bday presents!

Wish him luck. And don't ever fly for cheaper if it means 100 stops. Air travel SUCKS! Grrrr
