Travel Day from Hell

After we packed up our bags from our hotel room we headed out to the Mammoth airport which is as big as your living room. They only have about 5 people that work there and they do everything from give you your boarding pass to load the bags on the plane. After I checked in the; the worst travel day of my life started. Once we bordered the plane we sat on the runway for about an hour or so while they loaded the bags and got the plane prepared. Once in the air it was only a 30min flight to San Francisco. Once in San Fran we had to go to the other side of the airport. Which entailed walking out of security taking a tram and going back through security where I had to go through secondary questioning. In secondary questioning they sat me down next to my coach and asked us a bunch of questions about where were going, what were doing, and what were bring. The entire time they were doing this, my coach and I were arguing with the guys about how they profile people. And the only reason they picked my coach and I was because we had long hair and everyone else in line was wearing business suits. After TSA went trough everything on my person they finally let us go.


Once at the gate I got some food and charged up my phone and computer so I could use them on the plane. Once on the plane all I could hear was a crying baby and I was wishing I didn’t have to sit near that baby. But I happen to have a seat right next to that crying baby with her angry mother. Once I was sitting next to that baby it wouldn’t stop crying so the mother was screaming at the baby and shaking it, and at that point I knew it was going to be a long flight to Philly. When I was sitting there hating life I popped 3 Tylenol PM to try and fall asleep. About an hour later I finally fell asleep for about 20 mins until the mother blasted me in the face with hand sanitizer that woke me right up. And from that moment on I sat there awake while a baby kicked me the entire 6 hour flight.


After we arrived in Philly we had an hour lay over before we got on plane to Albany NY. Once we got to the gate the lady told us that our flight was delayed 5 hours which is a long time to be sitting in a air port for. During these 5 hours everyone just slept on the floor, watched movies and made a lot of noise for some reason? Once we got on the plane they said the bathroom was broken so they had everyone get off the plane and bored a new one. Once on the new plane we finally got to leave for Albany. In Albany we got our bags which were completely soaked from the heavy rain on the east coast and got in a car to head to Stratton Vermont.
