moments of boredom, anxiety, ostracism ... so I'll tell you the adventures I went to reach the U.S. this January.
I was supposed to leave on Monday January 10th at 10:45 a.m. from Madrid and arrive the same day to Los Angeles at 7.10 pm, so give me time to catch the bus or the 8 or the 10 to go to Santa Barbara, the city where he was going to spend a relaxing week pre-onset course.
Well, I get to the gate and no problem Barajas up to 10 minutes before boarding time when we say it will be delayed 1 hour ... it was not too bad, because the time between flights in Washington was 2 hours and a half and gave me time.
Spend less this time and ship, but ... began to hang out and not go out, and the plane was moving. The pilot, all the while saying that we needed a signature out of a repair had been done on the plane. So we were up to 2 hours and a half later where we were told that the flight was canceled because even sign the paper (which was not clear if the end was signed or not) if we flew were to spend the hours of work crew. From there to
for baggage ... in that time people was alive and that maybe we could go somewhere else afternoon flight. But we waited almost 3 hours to pack up to go aside! Everyone ended up sitting on the floor and making friends ...
And meanwhile no responsibility for Aer Lingus deigned to give us any explanation, or tell us not preocupásemos us or give us a glass of water.
picked up my suitcase to 16.30 pm without having eaten anything all day but had to wait some more ... I went to the counter where we were going to handle the new flights (this information gave us on the plane, and after that as I did not tell us anything.) And the queues were .............................................. ......... Unsurprisingly, the plane had 260 passengers ...
Commission at 8:00 p.m. when my family came, and fortunately I have family in Madrid and brought me an omelette sandwich, I think the richest I've ever eaten!
And I was in line ...
already had a co-cola joke ... we tell each other our lives, what we would do in the U.S., if we were jinxed because our line was the slowest.
Finally! at 9:40 p.m. I got my new flight, for the following day: Madrid-Chicago, Chicago-LA. On 1
smooth flight, I really liked, I even made fun 8am. Of course, rule my happiness is fleeting and when to land 10 minutes left we were informed that a few many flights were canceled or delayed ... delayed mine, of course. The reason the snow. Snowed and it was snowing a lot.
I got off the plane, customs, luggage there gave me the new ticket to LA and in the end they had canceled my flight. Then when I finally spent some 500 controls came to the boarding area and had my flight delayed to the point that when I arrived in LA I had to stay there overnight, because there were no buses and hotels were full ...
The night was interesting, in airport departure lounge and still 3 people there. I was scared, but because they did not think. But when it became the day I realized that was not the best place to be. Just in case I did not sleep all night, I'm not so confident.
And finally, I took the bus to Santa Barbara. It was a beautiful, clear day on the bus I gave up the dream.
arrived Wednesday, 3 days later than planned, and the truth is that I was embarrassed because I had a really good and I have missed those days.
And after this roll some pictures so you can see how beautiful it is SB.
In this picture you see surfers ... the truth is that it was cold. You could go in short sleeves in the morning and evening with a cardigan or jacket. A luxury place.
want to go back !!!!!! (Although now in Berkeley time is not bad, has been sunny today and I could go without shelter)
PS The next post, my purchases and not rebajiles rebajiles. ***
