So I am coming to you live from Halifax airport! And to prove I'm live....PENIS!
Anyway, yeah I'm stuck in Halifax a little longer than I expected to be. First of all, there was bad weather last night, so to make sure I could get to the airport I had to stay at my Grannie's. That's not horrible, I mean I got to eat at the casino and shop around with my brother, it was pretty nice to hang out before I left. I got an awesome hoodie too, only because I lost my grey one to the piles of clothes in the basement. So we chilled out, watched a movie. After that, I got up at seven to get ready and make the potentially dangerous cab ride to the airport thanks to snow and freezing rain the night before. So I get there, to find that my flight has been delayed again and that it might interfere with my connecting flight. Shit. Buddy says I might still make it though...oh and the shocker of this conversation was him showing me my boarding pass to get to Halifax and that it didn't have seat number on it. Apparently they overbooked the flight so even though I...er..my dad booked it in October I was still on standby. Piss. So luckily some guy decided he was going to fly another day and I got his seat.
So, I missed my connecting flight and am now stuck in the airport until possibly 450, if not then, then i do have a seat on a flight at 8 which means it will have taken me a full day, 12 hours, to fly from sydney to st. john's. Fuck.
Also, I managed to embarass myself further by trying to order starbucks by myself. There wasn't even a huge menu thingie. I was the only one there and they said hello so I panicked! I said something about a vanilla bean...I only saw one thing up there so I thought that's all I'd have to say. No. Her mocking expression told me no. So she asked "Vanilla bean what?" and I stood there like a deer in headlights. I had no clue, so she started listing...so many inos...I got something though so it worked out ok, I only lost some of my dignity. Too much dignity takes away you fun, that's what I'm going to say for now.
Strangely enough, with all this standby and different flights I get the strange feeling that I'll end up in St. John's, but my luggage won't. Especially with Air Canada. Anyway, I suppose that's it for now, I'm sure I'll have something else to complain about when I get...if I get...to St. John's. I know, I know could have been a lot worse :P
