US Airways Rots!


...I wouldn't recommend it! More like "Wait with US."

Well to end a perfectly splendid vacation, we ended up missing our connection flight. The reason? One runway in Cancun (to be expected), Tornadoes in North Carolina, and they put too much fuel on our plane so they had to ask 10 people to get off in Cancun.

When we got to Charlotte, NC we missed our connection by an hour. They had no flights, hotels were booked, food places were closed. We hadn't eaten a meal since breakfast, so Brad and Bill took a taxi to McDonalds. $52 for taxi and value meals (not priceless).

We slept on the floor (a few hours at most) and now we are spending the day traveling from gate to gate only to watch an already overbooked flight take off without us yet again. In addition, today I have a sick stomach and the runs (most likely due to eating McDonalds at 1:00am.

So, we are on stand-by all day with our first real booked flight to leave tomorrow morning at 7:55am. That's right folks! It looks like another night here in North Carolina. Here's hoping I can get home at sometime tomorrow as it is my BIRTHDAY!!! And I miss my Girls!

No, as all the car rental desks were closed at the airport by the time we got through customs and getting put on standby flights. A couple people who only wanted to go to Raleigh tried.
