Busy-ness of the holidays!

We finally made it home for Christmas! The trip here was long and tiring. First, on our way down here we figured out that our flight was 2 hours later than we thought, so that gave us time to drive our friends (Peter and Shelly) to the La Guardia airport and then we headed our way to my beloved JFK...sort of. The only time I've flown in and out of JFK is on Jet Blue, which by the way the terminal is beautiful! Nice and spacious and I just love it. But come to find out the Delta terminal is crowded and junky, no outlets anywhere! Well we made it to the security line, and I, thinking that I would go through security super fast, put my license in my pocket so when I got there I wouldn't have to take it out of my purse, only problem is when your license falls out of our pocket! So once we got there, we'd been to a grocery store, taken the rental car back, gone on a train and a million different places, we figured that we'd take our chances with my Yale Student (affiliate) Id. Luckily by some small chance, the lady had some christmas spirit and let us on the plane! So we got to our terminal around 5:30 we waited and got some snacks with the small money we have just to fill us enough until we get in around 11:00 utah time. Well that didn't happen. We got on the plane around 9:30, 3 hours after we we supposed to be leaving. Delta never really said that it was weather related, they just said that it was "out of their control". So we got on the plane so excited to take off and be done with this whole experience, right? Wrong, we sat on the plane for 2 more hours. And when you have 250 people on the plane, chances are that people are going to have to go to the bathroom, people get hungry, and kids start screaming. Clastrophobic people start throwing up and getting sick. Yay the holidays right? So we finally took off around 12:30, 5 hours after our supposed time, and people were cheering. We got free eye masks, free headsets, and free blankets. I felt ok the whole time just sick to my stomach and my throat was getting sore (from all the sick people on the plane, 2 hours gives you enough time to spread your airborne diseases around the WHOLE plane). So when we finally made it to Utah 3:30 their time (5:30 ET) we were just happy to be home. Wow the busy-ness of the holidays!!!
