cornerofmadnessBut I almost didn't. My plane left Cardiff late because too many planes were leaving at that time. AND we couldn't land for the same reason in Amsterdam. On the plane they said 'the passenger going on to Detroit, you might miss your plane.' To top it off they didn't get the handicapped help for me. I had to run three concourses in less than 10 minutes (they told me I couldn't possibly make it) before my gate closed. I did, which of course triggers an asthma attack that leaves me coughing up inflammatory fluids for about 40 minutes. I wouldn't have made it if not for the fact there was about 20 of us running late, holding up the gate. it was like that old commercial with a certain disgraced football player.
It was a packed airbus but man they gave us a good breakfast (heck even the puddle jumper gave me a cheese sandwich on a weird corn bread), I had a cheese omelet (a honey roasted chicken breast or a Caesar chicken salad were the other choices but how is that breakfast) with creamy mushrooms and some hashbrowns, bread and butter, cheese (cheddar and brie) and crackers and grapes, another container of fruit (entire orange, more grapes and some glorious melon) and a lemon caramel cheese cake. I need to remember good headphones next time because they really have the entertainment scaled up these days with movies and tv and more. Oh and they gave us warm cookie, four different drink services (two bottled waters, two whatever you wanted) and then about an hour before landing, lunch (cheddar and turkey croissant and a Magnum chocolate covered ice cream bar) and then toblerone.
I was then crammed into a little plane to Pittsburgh (naturally here they have a wheelchair for me which I took because it short cutted customs and the security recheck and again at Pittsburgh which I said no to because Amsterdam was the only place I needed it.
Parents had pizza for me. Kanda is happy to see me and I've now been up 21 hours so I'll be signing off.
