My flight was rerouted to another place about couple of hours away from my final destination. I hoped that they would put us back on the flight and take us to our planned destination. However, soon I discovered that the airline changed the route and took the flight to a third destination. Now, I was strangled at an airport that was smaller than the parking lot of YMCA. There was no way that I was reaching the final destination until I made a move. And so I did. I contacted the rental car office to know that they were out of cars. Hmm… let me think. I was stuck in the oddest place and had no where to go.
Luckily, some gentleman just returned a vehicle and I got the weird looking orange color vehicle that had no cruise control or arm rest. I love to drive but now my feet hurt as the accelerator was oddly positioned, my arm hurt as there was no arm rest, my head hurt as I had not eaten anything since morning and my tooth hurt because.. well, I have a toothache for a week now. I reached my final destination after 12 long hours in air and on land driving over water.
Altogether, I have managed to be in 4 different states and 6 different cities in the last 7 days (excluding home town and home state). So next time I get on an aircraft (which is tomorrow), I will keep an open mind and will be ready to step anywhere… even where no man has gone before.
