Woke up to a bit of a delayed flight, which should have been a good hint of how the day would go, but I walked to grab a coffee while Ryan was still sleeping.
The grounds are beautiful
Headed to the airport to start travel home and the biggest nightmare
We flew from St. Thomas to Atlanta which was fine, once we landed in Atlanta and got off the plane it all changed. I have never seen anything in real life like this, we literally couldn't walk, it was packed, wall to wall people- just standing, sitting, laying as far as you could see. It was insane! There was a global internet glitch that affecting all aspects of flying. As soon as we landed we got notifed that our flight was canceled, not delayed just canceled. Robbie and Celise flight was landed and just delayed. We tried to get on stand-by and were number 31 & 32, so not a chance that was happening. The line to talk to Delta was the entire length of the terminal and wrapped around. I was on my phone trying to book a flight with any airline to any city in and area Austin and everything was book for the day and for the next few days. I told Ryan we were going to have to rent a car and drive, he thought I was INSANE but I just had a feeling so I headed to the rental car area (which is 2 levels) and started going kiosk to kiosk trying to rent a car, one by one they were sold out or were not doing one way rentals. I was in the last lane and they had a car!! As I was checking out the manager came out and said no more one way rentals and they were sold out! I was so thankful! By this this time Robbie and Celise's flight had been canceled and there were no flights available for the next two days. So we all four jumped in our rental without any luggage and started the 14 hour drive back to Austin!
A few stops later, VERY little sleep, almost 1,000 miles we made it back home!
Even though the travel left alot to be desired I am not complaining it was a trip of a life time!
Here is Celise and I's vlog of the travel day.
