Traveling Space A W/out Hubby

Warning!!! Long post!!! LOL

Waiting Patiently

Waiting for the bus

We decided after a bit of consideration that the best way and cheapest way for us to get back to the Golden State was to hop onto a military flight…Also known as Space available travel. We got all our paperwork done and were ready to just take it in and have our names put on the list….So that’s exactly what we did…We went the Saturday after Thanksgiving and they 1^st thing they tell me is that were I want to go is a rare flight and that they had one scheduled for that same night…I went back to the car and drove straight home to finish packing. That night when it was getting close to our show time I call the terminal to check on the flight and find out it was canceled. I kept hearing the same thing for the next 3 days. 

This is what happened on day 4.

There was a flight scheduled to go out to our preferred destination with a roll call time of 0240. I decide that the easiest thing for me to do is dress the boys ahead of time and let them sleep till its time for us to go. When we get there I go check to see if the flight hasn’t been canceled or delayed and just my luck, it was delayed an hour. So we waited in the car till then. When the time came we went inside, got checked in, threw security point and onto the bus that was taking us to the plane.  About half our of us sitting in a COLD bus they tell us the plane we were scheduled to take was being delayed 14 hours do to mechanical issues =[

We had back to the terminal, check what other flights are going out later today and were lucky to have one going to Washington. At this point im out of patience and ready to be home, so I call the hubby and ask for his opinion. He was thinking just like me because he told me to get on the flight to Washington and just find a way to Cali from there. So once again that’s exactly what we did =] And guess where im typing this from! Yup the plane!! We should be in Washington State in a few hours and so much closer to home!

Finally at New Jersey, in our hotel room waiting for dinner to arrive. Hoping our flight to Washington tomorrow goes smoothly!
