The Travel Struggle

Bonjour mes amis,

We finally arrived in Kansas City last night at around 6:30pm and checked into our hotel.

Because we had an early flight, we went to bed around 10pm. 

I did not sleep very well.

5am rolled around, and I was drained and zombie like.

Upon arriving at the airport at 5:40am, we learned that our flight to Denver had been cancelled along with our flight from Denver to Portland because a storm dropped a lot of snow on the northern regions. 

We were upset, but at the same time, we were like,  "Okay, so our flight was cancelled. We will just transfer flights, and everything will be fine."

WRONG.

Our plane provider was SouthWest and apparently, they were completely booked for the Portland flight until Tuesday at 4:30pm. There was no way we could wait that long.

So, we decided to change airlines. We jumped a bus and went to the Delta exit. 

The lady at the Delta counter ran into a ton of issues and complications, so we gave up. 

My dad decided to drive back to Salina because we weren't going to get a plane, and SouthWest's phones were tied up. So, it would have been an hour or more wait. 

Delta's phone services were no better; it was a three hour wait. 

It was absolute madness and looking on line seemed to be a losing battle as well.

But long behold, I went onto Delta's website and searched for flights tomorrow, January 5th, and I found about 6. All were sold out but one. I took that as a sign, and we booked the flight. The price wasn't too bad either. This is the second time Delta has bailed our family out of a cancellation from SouthWest. Needless to say, SouthWest will be the last place we fly through again. 

Tomorrow, we will be flying out of Kansas City to Portland at 6am. Let's hope this time we actually get to Portland. 

Also, I will try to vlog or take pictures tomorrow and while we are in Portland.

Avoir mes chers, 

XO
