Well. I am writing this from my hotel room in El Paso, Texas. This isn't even my final destination. I have been trying to get to Los Angeles since Thursday and it will be Saturday (tomorrow) before I hopefully, finally get there. Something told me when I woke up Thursday that something wasn't going to be right and maybe I shouldn't leave Omaha, at least not that day. I was right. For starters, I usually try to take flights thru Denver to LA but I think I ended up going with Dallas because it was cheaper or something, I can't remember. Anyways, get to Dallas, come to find out that my flight is cancelled along with many, many others, pretty much everything was down. I ended up getting another flight at 6:30 AM and so I kind of hung out at the airport on my cot with a small blanket, waiting for the time to roll around, only for that flight to be cancelled. It was stressful but I finally got a flight out to El Paso, only to get here and have missed my flight to LA. We were having such a delay in Dallas and taking off that by the time we got in, the LA flight was already gone and done for. There were no other open flights available and so now I am here in El Paso until tomorrow afternoon and then I will FINALLY REACH MY FUCKING FINAL DESTINATION. I got a hotel room because I could not spend another night in the airport so it's not all bad but damn, I just want to get there. I've already lost out on 2 nights of Cali beauty. It's also been kind of nice, though, to see a little of El Paso and realize that I can definitely handle things on my own. I was frustrated a little but I made it and I didn't throw in the towel, though if they cancelled one more flight in Dallas, I decided I was just going to stay there for the weekend and go home but I am finally here, well close enough, kind of. Good night readers, I have to be up to catch this last damn flight tomorrow.
