Airport Dilemmas

Hi everyone! Sorry I have posted in a while, I was super busy trying to get everything together for my trip to Florida last week. I will be doing a full trip recap, but I thought I woulds share with you the post I wrote at the airport first.....

I'm currently sitting in the airport going on hour fifteen I think (I've been here so long I've lost count) I was supposed to be in Florida with my friends two days ago, but instead I am still here. The first day when we arrived at the airport it was warm and sunny, it seemed like perfect flying weather. However, there was a major thunderstorm at our destination and after the flight had been delayed three times they finally cancelled it. I had already waited there for four hours and then a fifth hour to reclaim my luggage. It was ok though, my friends and I had another flight booked the next morning so we went my to one of my friend's houses and watched a movie and went out to dinner.

The next day we went to the airport again and on the way there our flight was delayed but only for fifteen minutes. The weather was not nearly as nice as it was the day before and I nervously sat in front of the board watching flights move from on time to delayed to cancelled. Our flight was then delayed another hour before it was cancelled, but because we had the text alerts that came earlier than the announcements (highly recommend doing this btw) we got on another flight that went to the Orlando Airport which was about an hour from the other airport so everything would still be fine. But then of course this flight started to get delayed at first fifteen minutes, then thirty, then an hour, then two hours because the plane they were using for our flight couldn't take off from where it currently was. So now the flight was supposed to take off at 9:30 pm and then one of the dreaded announcements came on and our flight time was now moved to 1:30am and considering we had to drive three hours to our hotel we decided it wasn't worth it and changed our flight to 8:30 am the next morning. But we couldn't get our luggage back ugh!

Guess where I am now... sitting in the airport waiting for my 8:30 am flight after my friends and I walked around the airport trying to find a healthier breakfast. Just an FYI it is surprisingly hard to find basic cereal like Cheerios in an airport. We found everything else imaginable even three kinds of cheesecake and breakfast sushi, but not regular cereal.

I eventually was able to get on this flight and we had an absolutely amazing trip! We went to the Gulf of Mexico, which I had never been too, and it was so pretty and we had a great time despite the slow start!
