A day of travel

This morning at 6:00 am Brussels time I got a call from my coworker telling me our flight home was canceled. I tried to call or get online and couldn't get my call to go through so Todd tried calling and ended up waiting on hold for about 1 1/2 hours. I did what I could from the hotel (nothing but stress and talk to Todd) then when I got to the airport I got my flight from Brussels to Atlanta re-set up but the flight home from there was canceled due to snow. We were delayed an hour but after 10 hours in the air and 2 lunch services we made it to Atlanta.

Then the fun began.

We got in and went through customs. Then had to pick up luggage (mine was one of the VERY LAST) then I had to find a ticket agent to help me. In order to talk to someone about my flight I had to wait in line for someone to tell me to wait in line to recheck my bag then wait in another very long line to go through security AGAIN to exit the airport. Then I had to pick up my bags again (which took SOOOOOO long). Then I finally got into the line to talk to the ticket agent. My flight was to Salt Lake was cancelled but there is another flight tonight which I am on standby for. As of right now my flight leaves at 10 pm and arrives in Salt Lake at 12:20 tomorrow morning (midnight). Which means IF I get on the flight I will have been traveling today for 26+ hours. Let's hope I get on the flight or my next option is a 6:00 am flight tomorrow or the 5:00 pm flight. I am very tired and just want to be home at this point. I'm not big on work travel (although I've been doing A LOT of it lately) and I really hate traveling alone. When things don't go as planned in situations like this I don't deal well and it has been a long and stressful day.

Here's to hoping I get on my flight!

A quick update: I did NOT get on my flight. I slept in the airport and then was the 2nd to last person to get on a flight the next afternoon. I did not sleep in a bed for 48 hours and traveled for 39 hours. UGH.
