Our plane was finally set to take off at 9 am. We boarded the plane early and thought we were pretty much all set to take off. So we sat around waiting until 9:40 at the gate in the airplane. Why? Well, that was about the time they decided to finally tell us that they were waiting for the catering service to give them the rest of the meals. By this time we were ready to just take an extra bag of pretzels if it would get us in the air sooner. Finally, at 9:50, we were set for take off.
There are several little things that I am really picky about for not really any particular reason. Airplane food is one of them. I'm not a huge meat-eater to begin with, but for some reason I don't trust the meat in airplane food. They hadn't gotten the vegetarian meals from the catering service. That's actually what we were waiting for the entire time and never got. Awesome. But good news, they did have a vegetarian breakfast box for me later, for the meal that didn't have any meat in it. So I got packaged fruit while everyone else got fresh fruit and a small dry bagel while everyone else got a warm croissant. Fantastic.
Finally, we arrived at the airport 11 hours later than scheduled. My luggage had been gone through, but nothing was lost or missing. Sam gave me the best warm welcome that I could ever imagine after everything that had happened.
We got to Sam's house and I was welcomed by his parents and two doodles. Very tired and ready to go to bed, we ended the night and I was able to go to sleep, but not before admiring the beautiful flowers that my amazing boyfriend had left next to the bed (pink and red roses)!
