Wow. Today was totally insane. Woke up early to get to the airport by 8. Went to the wrong terminal initially so we had to drive to the other one where I stood in line for over 30 minutes before I was told that my flight was delayed 2 hours into San Francisco and I would miss my connection. They gave me a new flight that laidover in Houston, but I had to wait at the airport from 9 am to 1:30 pm to leave, and it would arrive an hour later in Charlotte.
Once it finally left, the flight to Houston had a lot of turbulence, and I had to keep my eyes closed and sip ginger ale so that I wouldn't get sick. Once we arrived at Houston, by the time the plane landed and we had an open gate to go to and we deplaned (I was near the very back) I was left with only about 30 minutes to run from Terminal E to Terminal B (on nearly the other side of the airport). Did make it to the plane (which you had to board outside... first for me) but was fairly certain my bags did not make it.
Fortunately, this flight was much less turbulent, and even though I was a little cold I was able to pass the time reading. When I got to Charlotte, my fears were confirmed; my bags had not made it on the plane with me. I had to wait and fill out paperwork to have them delivered to my house tomorrow, and in the meantime I dropped my phone and broke the sound on it. Finally, I was able to get in the car with Nicole who came to pick me up, and it was after 11 pm EST before I got home. I was super hungry because I hadn't eaten since 11 am PHX time (2 pm EST) so I ate before crashing in bed.
