Month: November 2006

So I got the the plane this morning, but we were delayed again because the planes batteries had drained overnight. We had to wait a couple of hours for them to be charged and the plane retested. Everything was fine, so we moved on.

As a result of the delay I missed my connection, so I’m stuck in Amsterdam for a couple of hours before my connection.

In addition to the rooms and food we’ve been given $250 off any flights with KLM. To be fair, they did their best to keep everyone happy.

Hopefully, I’ll get home today…

Cheers

I went to the airport. I got on the plane. The plane had a faulty clock! I waited for 2 hours. I got off the plane. I waited for 2 hours. The plane was cancelled. I got on a bus. I got a room at the Hyatt. So here I am, at the Hyatt at KLM’s expense, for an extra night in San Francisco. You gotta laugh…

By the way, the bus driver nearly killed us three times on the way to the hotel. First, he couldn’t decide which way to go, so he aimed for the central reservation. This caused screams from most of the occupants. Next, he nearly hit a guy whilst changing lanes. Finally, we nearly crashed into the back of a car. On this occasion I screamed, “Break!” I get the feeling someone doesn’t want me to get home in one piece! 🙁
