Current mood: Seriously? Delayed again??!!
Queuing up for fun and waiting it out for something you have to do are...totally different. I must've spent over 10 hours standing in line on Monday and it was fun, because I got to ride roller coasters until I was sick. On Tuesday, I spent around 4.5 hours waiting around (mostly sitting, I might add) in airports and I was ready to hurt someone.
The president flew into the Cleveland airport when he came to town to hold his town meeting. The decision to land there cost the airport nearly two hours of operational time. Short flights bound for Cleveland were not allow to take off and all flights out of the airport were grounded right when I was scheduled to take off. My flight was delayed for about an hour and a half.
Just as I stepped off the plane at BWI (I actually saw this through the window), then heavens opened up and threw a tantrum. A wet (hail, sheets of rain), thundery (BIG BOOMS!), and lightning-ey tantrum. The airport shut down due to worker safety concerns and the power (briefly) went out. No planes, trains, or automobiles (including the baggage handling carts) were allowed to move. My luggage was delayed for nearly 2 hours.
(Who wins, the President or God? You decide!)
My travel karma really is kind of bad. I'm hoping that luck genuinely is zero-sum game, because I'm due for some smooth sailing.
