So, if things went right this blog would look like this:
9:20 board train
11:20 arrive burbank airport
12:40 take off from burbank
3:05 land in phoenix
Well, it didn't of course! It went like this instead:
9:00 forget my phone in my mom's car
9:15 i'm told the train is 2 hours delayed
9:30 get my phone back
11:40 train arrives
2:00 (appx) arrive burbank airport
2:15 get put on stand by
2:30 sit down and wait
4:30 delayed flight boards
5:30 free vodka cran [strong!]
7:00 arrive in az
There were certainly some highlights along the way. Some really nice girl let me use her phone a million times to finally get a hold of my mom and get my phone back. Talked to a UCSB freshman while we waited for the train. He got off at Camarillo. Started talking to the lady sitting across from me, turns out I went to high school with her youngest son. Small world! The train they sent us was the slowest moving train of all time, I was so annoyed! By the time I got to Burbank I was in a pretty bad mood, and to make it better it was so foggy that the air was just wet while I walked to the airport which is about a 10 minute walk. However, my luck started to turn as soon as I walked in the automatic double doors. It was warm! The customer service lady for Southwest was SO nice to me. It was possible I was gonna have to pay around $100 to get on stand by, but it was free. The other lady working stopped to repair a machine and it had a free drink ticket in it so she gave it to me. Can't wait to get on that plane and have some booze! So, even though the flight they put me on is 20 minutes delayed, I am in a much better mood. I have to wait 'til 4:30 for this flight, so since I'm starving I think it's time to eat..
The rest of the story! [Updated]
I ate, I sat, I used the free Burbank Airport Christmas wi-fi from Google. When I boarded the plane I was really confused because it was choose your own seat, but after struggling with my bag and a guy helping me finally, I sat down. I tried to turn on my over-head light to read The Tortilla Curtain, but it wouldn't turn on. Just my luck! The only time I was disappointed by Southwest. So I just waited for the drink cart. It came. I drank. I felt a buzz... Oh drinking in flight! So we landed and I was SO excited. Walked out a little tipsy and disoriented but I found Shar and we went straight to get our nails done. What a day it was.
