Why SMS loves to travel…Not

Our travel day back from alaska started very average.  I woke up about 7:50 am Alaskan time and went downstairs for breakfast.  Kelly was awake doing her spanish paper and watching VH1 so I poured myself a bowl of Cinnamin Toast Crunch and began to eat my breakfast.  Slowly one by one people poured downstairs and when Jamie came down she told us that we best start to pack our things becuase we were leaving in five hours. so we packed our bags and we were on the road by 1 headed to the Anchorage airport.  Sitting in terminal B5 we waited to boared our plane at 5 pm.  5 came and went and before we knew it the time was 6 and there was a mechanical problem with the plane and they did not know when it would be fixed.  At 9 pm there was an anouncement that the plane would not be ready for at least two hours.  Then 11 came and went and we couldn’t bored until 12.  At 12 fifteen the pilot told us that due to FAA codes, they were no longer allowed to fly that night and that the next flight would be 10:30 Am.  After four hours we booked new tickets for the flight at 10:30.  Finally everyone was alseep until we had to recheck our bags at 7:30.  Breakfast was eaten by all the hungry travelers and the plane was bored.  It was amazing but SMS was finally leaving Anchorage 16 hours later than we were supposed to.  We arrived in seattle and since we had an eight hour layover we got a hotel and spent some time sleeping, showering and eating.  Then it was off to Detroit for our last connection to Bradley.  Supposedly that plane was delayed for about an hour but the second I sat in my seat I passed out so I don’t remember that.  It was nine and Jamie, Choma, Libby and I had to wait for the other flight to arrive at 11:50.  We went and got subs at a sub shop and then picked the others up at the airport.  I arrived in West Dover at 2:30, 30 hours later than expected, and by 3 oclock I was alseep.  I was dead asleep until 5 the next morning.  Now SMS loves traveling even more than before and we especially love Continental.
