You would all probably never travel again, if you were as luck as me.

Here is the story. Everything starts off well. I get to my flight in KC on time, then I get my tickets and everything works alright. Of course when I get my tickets, I notice that my flight has already been delayed a half an hour. I think, oh well it happens, not really paying attention. Of course I am not flying into Portland, I am flying into Salt Lake. Then I notice that my connecting flight already is only a half hour after I was supposed to land. So for those of you math majors, I miss would be missing my connection, which of course I did. So I get put on standby for the next few flights to Portland, but I hear from the guys working for the airline that all flights to Portland are booked for the next FOUR days. I decide that it is time to try to get a flight elsewhere. So I find the customer service desk for Delta. I ask if I can get a flight elsewhere, and then into Portland. Here is how all of the conversations went to multiple airlines "Hello, I need one seat on a flight to Portland, yes just one, ok...no seat available, thank you for trying." Eventually, I just ask, can you get me to either Eugene or Seattle? First they do Eugene, nothing available, but Seattle, there is. So I fly into Seattle, and get picked up by my mom and drive two and half hours back to Portland, which gets me home at about midnight. Hooray. Well, just for some reference, I was supposed to be flying into Portland at 3, so I got home 9 hours late.

Oh well, I have been home for a few days now, and things are going well.
