I think it is safe to say that i should discontinue travelling. i appear to have extremely bad luck with airports and flights. is it just me ? ok so heres the story, il keep it shortish.

my flight was supposed to leve kansas at 3:20pm. i got to the airport on time, was a little emotional but i felt like everything was alright. the plane then had a broken engine so they had to change it -30mins- we are on our way. i have a 1 hour lay over in denver colorado so this is alright, not cutting it too fine. however there is some trouble in denver and the plane has to circle for a bit before it can land. we land at 5:15 local time. according to my ticked they close check in 10mins before the flight takes off, which is 5:30. according to the airport they close check in and take off at 5:16.

i miss the flight

travelling alone has never been my forte (spelt wrong but u get me)
i am leaving kansas and all my friends behind
i have no way of contacting debi

as you can maybe guess im a little emotional. so i go to customer services. he is the most sullen faced man in the world. the next avaiable flight(after around 30mins of searching, during which time he said exactely nothing) is the next day at 5pm. thats 24hours away. it stops in portland oregon and will get to alaska at midnight. more than 24 hours after im due to arrive. i have no option but to take it. i ask him what im supposed to do for the night.

he is rude and tells me thats the only flight and hes done all he can. i leave and compose myself at the bathroom....i.e cry

i go back around 40mins later, his shift is over thank goodness and another woman is there, i tell ehr my situation and ask where my bags are what the deal is etc. she tells me i wont need to re check my bags and she will get them moved directly to that flight. she books me into a hotel for the night and gives me $14 in food vouchers.

the bus on the way here broke down and i had to walk for 10mins

so thats where i am right now. in some random marriot hotel in denver colorado. i cant get hold of debi. it seems pretty nice here but its far from the ideal situation ! mum and dad don't worry, i will be right back on track tomorrow.

goodnight x
