I hate Traveling

Well I didn't get home at a decent hour last night. Traveling yesterday from the Northeast was horrendous. First of all me and my coworkers couldn't really get on an earlier flight, we thought about standby but its always a gamble and we figured with our scheduled flight we could have lunch and then take off and get home only an hour and a half later than the earlier flight plus it was a blizzard up in new england and trying to "rush" out to the airport early was out of the question. So we got to the airport about three hours early for our flight and the flight got cancelled.

So we go out of the terminal and try to get another flight. The next one isn't till 6PM. So we take it with little decision. Well Hartford BDL is possibly the worst airport in history. I mean Chatty has a pretty laughable airport, but you'd expect a laughable airport, BDL sees too much action to be as small as it is. Plus they have two terminals, one for delta and south west and the other for US Air. Well the Delta and Southwest has a nice bar and a few places to eat. The US Air one has just about nothing with a side of the shabbiest bar you'd ever see.

I just started to get cabin fever in teh airport. And of course the flight was delayed an hour, making catching my connecting flight in Charlotte a nice race from one side of the airport to the other.

Anyway, its good to be back. I feel like i haven't seen this little house in so long. I might just do absolutely nothing today, who knows. I do have some laundry to do, two weeks worth.

Being in the airport yesterday was a weird experience. It took me back to being a child where you only want one thing and nothing else will do. I only wanted to get out of the blasted state of Conneticut. I had tons of gameboy games, good books, a magazine... none of it calmed my nerves. I was halfway serious when I said to my coworkers "if we don't fly out of this place I'm walking out of this state." But That's about it. I have more to blog about but I want to start afresh and get the negative traveling vibe out of my body.
