Day #340-343 Airport & Final arrival in Grenada

Saying goodbye to my mom at the airport Thursday was really hard but I was exited to go home at the same time. We spent some tim in the airport looking at the art work and getting some souvenirs from AZ, I got a magnet cactus for the fridge and I got some coyote and rattle snake poop also know as chocolate covered peanuts,  also got a lollypop with a scorpion in it. I was so exited to be getting on  plane that thats when i realized this trip home was not going to be fun. I got on the first plane in Phoenix AZ just fine before they delayed that flight by 3 hours so they made us get off. Then when I went to get back on the plane they told me that I no longer had a seat on the plane because my flight to Grenada was canceled, I was so mad. Any ways they gave me four food vouchers one fro dinner that night, breakfast lunch and dinner the next day and put me up in a hotel in Phoenix. Then I got up early the next morning to find that the flight I was supposed to get on was delayed six hours but I was on. When I finally left we had to emergency land in Washington because their was an electrical fire in the oven. When we landed on the runway and it looked like forth of July 3 fire trucks 2 cop cars and 1 ambulance. They inspected the outside and then when we puled up to the gate the fire men came inside and checked the oven before we had to take are bags off the plane. The hole plane was waiting in a dead airport when they announced that we could either take a greyhound buss to New York or wait until the afternoon and take another plane out. They said that we should collect all of are bags down stairs that we had checked. I had checked a my carry on because I was going to have 10min to race to my connecting flight to Grenada. So I raced to the desk and asked if that was including things I had checked coming from Phoenix they didn't know but uncounted that the buss was going to leave in 15min so I ran down stairs and looked for all of my bags just my carry on came down the belt. My group of people from the plane all had their bags and where heading for the buss, I was starting to greek out and said screw it my bags will find me latter and raced for the bus. We all stood outside in below freezing weather and waited for the bus. We all waited in and outside right next to the door for like 45 min before the bus finally came and people raced and pushed to get a seat and get luggage under the bus. I just waited until someone who worked at the airport asked how many people I was traveling and pointed me to the bus. I got on and went all the way to the back. The bus started to crowd and fog up the windows. I was freezing, so I tucked my purse behind my back so that I would not be touching the cold wall. I got some sleep threw the drive but not to much. When I got to New york finally I had to wait for my bag to come off the buss and when it did I blasted inside. When I reached inside the check in line was all the way around the inside of the delta terminal. Thank goodness that they had placed me on a back up flight with Caribbean air, but I did not know the name of the company so I had to have someone take my passport and check. When I found out I had to go across the street and get on the air train, I was not exited I thought my nose was going to fall off the air as so cold outside.  It got worse from their no one knew what was going on or where I was supposed to check in for Caribbean air. They check people in at certain times so I must have waited 2hrs in different lines trying to find out what to do. When I finally got the right information I had about an hour before I could go to check in so I went to see if anyone could help me with my luggage, that took me a hole hour but that was the best news that i had gotten on my trip home, all my stuff was waiting for me in Grenada already. I was so exited that made my day. So I finally got to check in and then went threw security man those people are mean. any ways I found my gate and saw that it was delayed of corse. So I went to a pub for lunch, I asked for an ice tea they didn't have that, I asked for soda they didn't have that. so I got orange juice. I had no internet so i tried to make a collect call to my mom and grandpa and that didn't work so I was hopping that they knew that I was ok. Finally I found someone who could let me use their phone to tell my boy friend that I would be home at 8:30pm that night. I was so exited to be going home, but I met a nice doctor lady and we got to know each other very well. She took me threw the citizens line when we got to Grenada so I flew past all of the SGU students. I grabbed my bags and we headed threw customes, They didn't even open my bags. I was so exited. I called my friend to come and get me and as soon as I hit the nice humid air he was their waiting to help me with my bags thank goodness. When I got home  was so tiered that I didn't even unpack I went strait to bed. I had that sunday to relax unpack and eat before school started. Definitely not enough time to recover from all of the travel. oh well its a new year.
