So here we are sitting in the Richmond airport. We left the house at 5:00 a.m. in the pouring rain, parked the car in economy parking, shuttled to the terminal, stripped shoes and jackets for security and finally made it to the gate.
Our flight was supposed to leave at 7:00 a.m. and just a minute ago, at 7:25 a.m., we were informed that the flight crew has called for maintenance (something about a sensor) and will update us in 30 minutes. Ugh.
The last time I flew out of Richmond, I was on my way to a conference in Palm Springs, CA. I sat in the Richmond airport for HOURS because of a maintenance issue, missed my connection in Chicago and ended up flying to Los Angeles and driving to Palm Springs...all in all that trip from door to door took 16 hours.
Now that we are sitting here waiting I'm quite unhappy about the situation. Especially since I woke up at 3:45 a.m. to get here on time only to sit and wait in the airport. And I haven't had any coffee yet! Yikes!
At least they have free wireless here. Anyway, that's all for now...I mean I could keep complaining but you all would probably stop reading anyway. =)
Bye for now.
**Update**
They just announced that the sensor is wet...duh! It's raining. Still waiting on the mechanic.

i bet you it was the philanges that were causing the airplane problems. did you ask them if they had enough of them?? :D
it's sad that i'm not 100% sure that i have my Friends reference right. it's even sadder that i actually care whether or not i have it right and were i at home, i'd totally pop the DVD in to double check.
Man...I had to think hard about the philange line...and still not sure I remember it correctly. We're slacking on our Friends knowledge...need to get together when you're done with school and pull out the trivia game! =) Hope you're having a great trip!
