This morning I woke up in a hotel near the Chicago O'Hare Airport. My flight out of Denver yesterday was delayed by about 7 hours and therefore I missed my flight from Chicago to Madrid last night. United Airlines gave me a voucher for a hotel room after I waited in a customer service line in Chicago for almost 2 hours. All of the people in the line were frusterated travelers on the same flight I was on from Denver.

I leave for Madrid later today(24 hours later from my original flight) at 4:30pm Central time. Since I am so late I will miss my flight to Equatorial Guinea, which should have left tonight, I will be in Madrid for the weekend. I am not too upset about that. I will just have to eat some delicious food and drink some spanish wine for a few days. I can catch the next available flight to EG on Sunday night (12/30). So I'll just make the best of the situation.

We'll see how much spanish I actual can speak when I have to. It's okay, I think all I'll have to say is "mas vino por favor y mas paella."
That's all for now.
