Finding it hard to see the Brightside today, trip to California is not going well.. cliffs :
1. It decides to snow in Newcastle. The whole of Newcastle airport look up to the sky and wonder what this white stuff is, decide that getting a brush out for evey plane is the best course of action.. and some ladders
results in delay of 90 mins.
[ x ] I saw my baggage here.
2. Paris.. sprint through to catch plane, didnt need to do this as massively delayed due to French people in general but catch it.
[ ] I saw my baggage here.
3. 11 hour flight to Salt Lake City. Sat next to random Chinese man who decides that I"m his new best friend. By the end we"ve exchanged email addresses, have looked through his 1034 photos from his trip, and he"s coming to stay with me soon. Why I agree to this and not just have my head phones on and sleep I"m not sure. FML.
4. Salt Lake City, land when my connecting flight is due to board, rushed through US immigration by officials who think I can make it, wait for baggage [ ] no sign. Miss flight
5. Me and 2 farmers are left trying to get to Fresno, they manage to get me a flight to San Francisco which apparently they think is a fantastic idea. What? 2 hours later I"m boarding another plane.
6. San Francisco.. have lost the will to live at this point. I"ve been given 50 dollar voucher for food for the inconvenience. Nowhere will accept it. I manage to get a crappy burger place to take it but they want it all, even though Delta promised I could it like a credit card and multiple locations.. sod it. Give them the 50 dollars for 7 dollar burger. It"s horrible.
7. Get a flight eventually to Fresno from San Francisco.
[ ] my baggage is here
[ ] there"s lots of people to help
FML. I eventually find a cleaner who would listen to me and my day. Felt a little better.
8. Taxi to hotel. made the mistake of saying yes it"s my first time here. Bummed for 60 dollar taxi ride where I"m sure we saw the same homeless person 30 times on a loop.
9. Hotel. Mr Brightside kicks in and I ask if my luggage was here. Should of known better.
10. Get into room after a 15 min walk around hotel. Drop stuff. Get thirsty remember passing vending machine enroute.
All sold out apart from some lemon thing.. back to room and locked out. Give up on life at this point and kick the door several times. Eventually told by reception not to kick doors as security weren"t happy watching me on CCTV.
11. It"s now 8.46am. I"m not in the best of moods. I have a borrowed tooth brush to my name. And now have to venture out into downtown Fresno to buy a suit, shirts and shoes etc for tomorrow. Hoping impending cooked breakfast will put Mr Brightside mood on.. oh and Fresno turns out to be midget capital of America. Fingers crossed x
