Soooo, I get to the Huntsville Airport at like 4, check in for my 5:20 flight, everything is ready to go and then I overhear the conversation between the young army men sitting next to me: the flight is delayed 2 hours. And my connection was 2 hours, there is no way I'm going to make this connection. But hopefully in the next 2 days I will make it to Cordoba, Argentina; to the warm, late summer days of the southern hemisphere. My change in travel plans has not dampened my excitement to finally go below the equator (and see the water drain spiral in the other direction)! I just get to spend some quality time on the Huntsville Airport floor, really its not that bad - I have wifi. And I packed a change of clothes in my carry on just in case. My guess is I will need those, but I'm still hoping my connecting flight out of Dallas will be delayed too so that I can still make the connection.
While delays may not start my exciting adventure the way I wanted to, they still are an exciting adventure. Watching everyone's reaction is nearly enough entertainment to get through the delay. Those army men (previously mentioned) had some ... entertaining thoughts on the delays. I think they are really ready to go home. And it really cool to see how people bond during this time. It's like, now that people know they are stuck with these people for a while longer in the endless joys of travel, they can commiserate together and provide, at the least, companionship for each other.
But that is enough of my people watching and rambling for my first post on a blog about Argentina, in which I haven't even made it to Argentina.
