Yesterday kicked off our trip out of Detroit towards London, and while we are still super excited, anything and everything has gone completely wrong thus far! We started off in Detroit with an hour weather delay, and while we would be pushing it to get to our connection in Atlanta, we decided it was worth the try to make it with the half hour we had in between flights. Well...our hour delay turned into two hours and we still tried to make it and the finally got to Atlanta, SPRINTED to our terminal (we had to run from A to E and each one started at Gate 29 and we needed to get to 2...of course...) and missed our flight by six minutes! Our airline then told us that there was not another flight out until 10.30 the next night, meaning we would be spending a full 24 hours in Atlanta! We then get a hotel and some food vouchers, and finally get to the hotel after arguing and looking for a shuttle for almost two hours! By the time we get there, all we want to do is relax, so we hit up the bar (which actually closed 2 minutes
Excited!Lindsey and I excited about leaving the country!
after we got there, but the guy felt our agony and helped us anyway) and get a couple bottles of wine. Our rooms were super nice and us four girls just sat, drank, and talked which was really fun!
This morning we got up and checked out of the hotel, and luckily Erica's grandparents live in Atlanta so they came and took us out to lunch. They were so nice and awesome and it totally made the stay in Atlanta worth it! Plus, we got a $150 voucher for Delta and $42 worth in food!! We are sitting in the airport right now and it's 9.00 so we are soooo close!!! Hopefully we can pick up a bunch of free snacks (on the airline's tab, of course) and be on our way in a little bit!! Already miss you all and HOPEFULLY the next time you hear from me will be in Europe!!
Okay, so I wrote that at 9.00....now it is 10.08 and we are delayed due to mechanical issues!!!! Maybe London isn't supposed to happen...
