Stuck at La Guardia >.<
It’s 3:51 Central time and my flight was supposed to be off the ground 51 minutes ago. Also 51 minutes ago someone from United was supposed to come on the pa system to let us know what’s going on with our flight. My papi told me that it’s supposed to storm in Chicago soon, so that may delay me even more. I really wanted to make it back for Good Friday service! I still may be able to swing that depending on when they fix whatever the problem is.
On a different note, I’ve decided that driving around out here is crazy! I got lost because the highway that I was on looks like the same thing as the Garden State Freeway on the map that I got. So I drove from La Guardia through Jersey and to upstate New York, shooting many miles west of where I was supposed to be. Then going to the hotel after work on Monday, I found that there is a tiny tiny sign for the hotel that you cannot see if you’re travelling east on 59 (which happened to be the way that I was going). So I stopped half way between Nanuet and Nyack at a grocery store for directions. See I’m not proud…I’ll stop and ask if I’m lost
But all that aside, I think it’s beautiful out here (where my office is at least). I think I could get a place out here and chill for a couple of months.
4:01 now and no word on our flight. It’s a good thing they have internet here at the airport so I’m in luck, well sort of. Ok, I’m off…meaning I’ll just post this, otherwise I’d go on until they called us for our flight (which very well could be who knows when).
