stranded in california (shouldn't be this bad...)

so here's the update on my trip that was running along so smoothly...

Daddy and i got to the airport in San Jose, and wah-laa! Our flight has been cancelled. Not delayed, not rerouted - CANCELLED. So after a some manuevering by a very crafty Delta employee, we got a flight in an indirect way to Atlanta. Not at all our original plan which included flying from San Jose to a layover in Salt Lake City, then to Tulsa where we'd go to Easter service (friend of my dad and the guy that did Mama's service), then get on a plane be back in Atlanta at 4:00ish Sunday afternoon. Buuuut, not now.

Now, we are sitting in Oakland airport, arrived via shuttle from San Jose, waiting for 2:00ish (PST) so we can check in our bags for our 7:45ish flight. I had to pay $7.95 to get on the internet (I figured it would be worth it considering we're going to be here a while)... another point of pure annoyance. Once we get on the plane we'll fly to L.A. where we'll have a two hour layover until we get on a packed redeye flight to ATL. Should be fabulous. Ugh.

But anyway, I guess things could be worse... [insert irreverent slightly sick joke here].
Some pics from the trip above... (and probably more blogging to come :-))
