Finally arrived, after tons of issues...
13 years ago
So, first we get to the airport late, cause boyfriend's dad doesn't know how to use highways. He prefers back roads. He doesn't think it's a problem cause "security isn't that bad" - the man obviously hasn't flown in a long time.
We would have missed the flight... If the plane had ever arrived to begin with... Turns out, it was still sitting in Chicago. So! After a very quick plane juggling by the airport staff, we end up on a straight flight to Frisco. Not bad, except this puts us there three hours behind schedule. We race over, just in time to catch our new connecting flight and get to Seattle around 10:30, much later than the seven we had originally scheduled. Cue the "where the heck am I supposed to go" stress session, followed by "the bus driver tried to take off with our luggage" and you have us. Luckily nothing terrible is wrong with the hotel (roller chair is broken in the room, but right now I don't care, not gonna use it) - dinner is fecking expensive though, since we didn't get to our room till stupid late and had to order room service.
Soooo, lets hope the rest of the trip goes smoothly, heaven knows we already went through enough trouble for the entire week, let alone the weekend.
Edit: So, turned out last night that they didn't put in my order at all... and didn't even bother to call me back and let me know. Around 11:45 I called back and they didn't have an order in for me at all... so I just gave in and went to sleep.
That's ok though... I didn't need to spend that much on 'omg I just need food so I can sleep' food - wouldn't have been enjoyable enough for it. Also, we were supposed to get free breakfast. We weren't given vouchers for it. :| Sooo I just paid $15 for a buffet breakfast. Can't complain that much, it's a lot better than the $40 per person dinner we would have gotten last night.

No kidding. Plus we didn't even get to eat last night! Oh well - the breakfast was definitely worth the $15. Boyfriend hasn't eaten yet so I'll be going down there with him, hopefully they'll remember I already paid and let me sit with him.

No kidding! :P We just weren't having any kind of luck. Hopefully that's turned around now, nothing bad happened today! :D
