When I mentioned looking forward to a little chaos in my solo adventure, I never dreamed it would happen before I even left Santa Cruz!! As I was boarding my airport shuttle, I got a notification from American Airlines that my flight from SFO-DFW had been cancelled. WTF? I immediately called to find out there were no flights available from SFO that would get me to DFW in time to catch my connection. Time to punt!
Luckily there was a flight available from San Jose to DFW that should arrive just a few minutes after my original flight and with time to catch my next flight. And, the shuttle driver was already dropping another passenger at SJC. Whew!
Of the six shuttle passengers, four of us had flight cancellations! The others weren’t so fortunate… Their flight to North Bend, OR was cancelled and there’s not another flight until tomorrow, and even that is in question due to the weather.
All that before coffee! Things usually turn out just fine as long as I can stay calm and avoid bitch mode. A couple of deep breaths and a little adrenalin to get my morning started!
