Hell of a Travel Week, But Good Holiday
Just what the subject says... it has definitely been one hell of a week for traveling. Last weekend I flew from BZN to OAK. I was supposed to fly on Saturday afternoon/evening, but it turns out the flight was canceled due to maintenance issue; that was with Delta. On Sunday morning, Delta put me on a Alaska/Horizon flight instead since their flight was oversold due to the cancellation the night before. I was shocked when I found myself sitting in Seattle due to another maintenance issue for two hours.
Well, I finally got to Oakland and drove up to Sebastopol where my brother and his family lives. I stayed at their house until Friday and spent some time with my nephews; we had a blast! Plus my brother turned 50 on the 1st!! Man he's getting old; if you know him email him to remind him, HAHAHAHA!
On Friday I took the bus from Santa Rosa to Oakland and met up with some friends. It was really nice to see them since I haven't seen them in a year. Congrats go out to Jeff and Aimee (who got married) and Joel and Megan (recent engagement)!! Big thanks to Eric and Briti for letting me crash at your place too. I can't wait to get back, I really miss you guys!
Sunday holiday ended and I flew back to the UK for work. Of course, the plane I was on sat on the runway for 1.5 hours while they tried to figure out why one engine wouldn't start. Good times; three flights on three different airlines in a week and all had maintenance problems. What's the deal with that?
