Sleeping Over At the Airport

It is 7:20 AM and I’ve been in the Guadalajara Airport since 2 AM. My delayed flight leaves at 9 and I’ll spend another 7 hours cooling my heels in Dallas. All in all it will be 20 hours in airports and in the air and I will arrive 8 hours late and a day late at my destination since I’ll arrive too late at night for my sister to drive the hour and a half to the airport to collect me, and so I will need to spend a night in a hotel. Oh the glories of modern travel. Since my pickup was at 1 AM for the hour trip to the airport , I didn’t go to sleep at all last night and I have had one hour’s sleep on a couch in the VIP lounge which they gave me a pass to. Better than the hundreds of people sleeping on the floor in the ticketing area. Wonder what is up? Heavy rain all the way from San Juan to Guadalajara, so perhaps that has grounded planes.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      I met some nice people there and another very nice young woman on the plane. She gave me her jacket because I was freezing and she and her boyfriend, whom I met when we landed in Billings, are going to come visit me in Mexico!

    Sorry to hear that, we are having a lot of airline problems here in the states too, coupled with the HEAT~! I hope you end up in a cooler part. They even are having problems in the NorthWest. SAM
