Could It Get Any Worse?

after many hours, our mtg ended and i was FINALLY able to relax. one of the attendees took us to a YUMMY ethiopian resta w/a pretty terrace, and 8 of us chowed down, chatted, and shared stories. it was a really nice way to end such a crazy trip.

and then shit hit the fan.

as we were waiting for post-dinner tea and commenting on how nice the relaxed evening was, the airline called my cell phone to tell me my flight had been cancelled. it was roughly 4 hours before i was leaving, and apparently the kenya govt had grounded the plane in nairobi.

i had already checked out of the hotel, and was really looking forward to going home and FINALLY getting some sleep. and then this chipper voice had to come across the line to tell me i wasn't able to leave as planned, and their best solution was a route thru paris the next night that wouldn't get me home til friday evening...

after a moment of panic and despair, i took a deep breath and ask for more alternatives. eventually they found one leaving at 3:30am thru NY-JFK, where i found a friend from another agency who kept me company for the duration of the flight.

and here i am now, in NY, crabbing away online. they just announced that my connecting flight home is over sold and ppl will be booted off. i'm never getting there...
