But of course...

But of course

The moment I’ve been waiting for…the moment I would be seeing the beautiful trees of Washington through my airplane window…the anticipation of seeing my family and friends would be growing…alas…I still sit here, in my lonely apartment in Gambell, AK still.  But of course.

This morning the flights were canceled, I held hopes for tonight’s flight at 415p, but at about 230p I received the most unsettling news….my flight was canceled.  I then proceeded to call Orbitz (whom of which I booked my flight through) to try and change my flights…the told me the soonest they could do was Thursday the 24th.  My heart sank and I began to cry, But of course.

Once I started looking into it I realized they were wrong, and I set out to prove it.  I got on the phone again and proceeded to talk to at least4 people for 2 hours (3 hours total after the whole ordeal).  I finally got the people to put me on the flights I knew were available.  I must say, I learned my lesson.  Never book flights (especially to/from Alaska) through any discount travel sites. I was able to change it to where I would be arriving Wednesday morning (rather than Thursday night).  Better than nothing I guess.  I sit here still upset as to how this is turning it, but I am trying to keep a light note of it.

I am just lucky I still was able to get a chance to go down.  At least I didn’t have any major appointments to go to in the beginning of the week :)  Although I def wont be able to see most of the people I had planned, it really is better than nothing.  I just pray that the second set of flights still work out!  Pray for me, I need to get home.
