A long chain of extremely unfortunate events, resulting in us missing the flight. They only had 2 seats available the rest of the day, so we couldn't just wait to catch another flight.

Well, then... welcome to the Desert Colossus Resort, buddy!

:P :-* ;)

Ah, shoot... Does that mean all that money went to waste?



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

We're venturing into Chatboard conversation, buds.

MasterKeyX

Sorry, sorry....

Well, if you had all ready paid and the trip got canceled, did you get your money back?> I feel pretty bad for ya, bud.

All the money's wasted, yes. We're trying to see if we can get tickets for tomorrow, but it'll cost around another $600 to get down there 8)

Man, that really sucks... I was wondering why you were online two hours after you were supposed to be leaving. Here's hoping things work out this time.

What happened that caused you to miss the flight? Or is it something you'd rather not get into here?
What, you expect me to say something witty?

DW

Well, first off we had difficulty getting everybody awake and moving. Then when we got there the shuttle to the terminal got delayed. Then the lines were horrendous. By the time we got to the bag checkin, the flight had left.

You'd think they'd delay the flights if the shuttle got delayed... ::)

Unless, of course, if there was another way to the terminal. Was there?

Means you didn't get there early enough. Haven't you been to an airport recently? Or watched the news? The security checks and such are so tight, takes forever and a half.

DW

Yes, we could have just gone to the terminal ourselves. Thing was, we didn't have anybody to drive us, so we wouldn't be able to park the car afterwards. And we can't just leave it sitting there.

Yeah, but my parents insisted we would be able to wait longer, because on the airport's page it said we only needed to get there about an hour before the flight. So...stepdad's pretty angry right now.

In my experience, it's a blurry line between Desert Colossus and Disneyland.

In any case, it sucks that that's what stopped you from spending an incredible day with your family.

Brizzy

They probably meant get through all that crap and waiting for the plane with an hour to spare. If anything, an hour is not enough time at all.

I fail to see the comparison. Do we sell Keaton ears, or have a rollercoaster hidden somewhere around here? I would kill for some teacups right about now.

Well, technically we weren't going to Disneyland itself until tomorrow, and were going to spend today at the beach. So we're going to miss only a few hours of Disneyland itself.

So yes, this means we shelled out the money to get the tickets for tomorrow. Let's hope we make it this time.

The lady at the checkin said that if we had been dropped off at the terminal we would have been fine. The shuttle took over a half hour to get us there. Still, I'd never gone that late to an airport before, and the security's only gotten tighter since last time I flew...which was quite a while ago, now I think about it. We're leaving much earlier tomorrow, I hope.
