Boston ,MA

REALLY, FCVK! I arrived on time for my flight back to Boston from O'Hare and sure enough my plane was delayed. The chances for this to happen, again. There was a huge storm in Boston and the planes there have been grounded. No planes are allowed to land in Boston until it's cleared.

The plane took off an hour and a half later that made me miss my connecting flight back to Provincetown. I missed my flight by 20 minutes. I went to customer service to see if I can catch another flight, but there was none until tomorrow. FCVK! Stuck in Boston again! What the HELL! The man told me that I can take a bus to Hyannis Port and get a person to pick me up. He said, "it's only an hour away from Provincetown". I told him that we did not drive to Ptown. He just looked at me and tried to push it, but I told him again. He gave in and booked me a hotel and comped my cab ride, going and coming back.

I gave my comp ticket to the taxi service lady. She called someone. When the cab driver arrived, the taxi service lady and the cab driver got in to it. Nice. They had a fight about, "if I call you, you need to get back to me" said the lady. "You ignored me the other time and blah blah blah blah". What is going on? This is bananas. The cab driver got in and told me, "it's not about you and sorry for that". "No problem", I told him. I gave him my ticket and he told me, "I don't get why they don't pick a hotel close to the airport". I told him, "why, what's up?". "This place they booked you is 45 minutes away". "$H!T, really?". It was a ride to the hotel and I noticed a sign for New Hampshire.

I got to the hotel and it was a family water park. Nice. It was 10:30pm when I arrived to my room. I set the alarm for 5:00 am. Of course, the FCVKR did not wake me. If it was not for my hard time sleeping, I could of missed my flight. But I didn't. I got to the airport on time and my flight was not scheduled to leave until 7:30am. When the time arrived to board, I was the only one on the plane. They decided to bump me and I was about to flip because I wanted OUT of this FCVKN city already. 10 minutes later, I got on the plane. Thank God. This was one CRAZY A$$ trip to Chicago for Lollapalooza.2011, but it was worth it. Until next year.

I was schedule to arrive on Thursday, but of course the plane gets canceled and it had to happen in Boston, MA. Logan Airport is STILL under construction. It's been how long, 10 years already? They need to get there $H!T together. First, when I arrived to the airport, the check in person kept looking at my papers and my ID alot. I started to think that, I am not on the list to go on this flight. He looked at me and gave me my stuff and told me, "who booked this flight for you?". I said, "me, why?". "You put down Mrs", he said. "Oh $H!T, I did not realize that. I should of double checked. That what happens when you rush, right? To be honest with you, I am going threw a transition". He laughed and he told me, "you might not get in because you have Mrs". I was nervous when he told me that, but you know what, I got in. That was the red flag and that's when everything went down hill. The flight was scheduled to leave at 1:30pm. Everything was fine at first. They boarded first calls and all that other stuff. Then they stopped boarding the plane. The announcer told us that the plane needed a valve to be replaced. Then she said, "we ordered the part and it won't arrive within a hour and it's going to take another hour to replace it. So we need to stop boarding". People started to come out from the plane and they where P!ST. Now my flight will not leave until 3pm. There where some people runnning around complaining because some have connecting flights. Three o'clock came and they announced that the flight is not ready. "They fixed the problem, but the part had a leak. We will not board until 5pm. The flight is not going to be canceled, we will take off today", said the flight attendent. Some people started to get restless. I texted Elaine on whats going on. Elaine is one of my friends who I am gonna met up with at Chicago with Raquel and Samy. We all went to Lollapalooza last year and had so much fun, that we decided to do it again this year. So once again, we boarded the plane. I texted Elaine that I was boarding and to leave my hotel key at the front desk. We boarded the plane and everyone was seated. They shut the door plane. We started to hear strange noises for about five minutes and then they told us, that they where still fixing the problem. Some people started to get up and got off the plane. The stewardess told us, "If you have a connecting flight, you should get off the plane". So twenty percent of the people did. Thirty minutes passed. Another ten. "They are still fixing and they should be done, soon". Twenty minutes later, we started to move. We parked for a couple of minutes on the run way. All of a sudden, we heard the noise again. The plane turned around and docked again. "We have to turn around because the part they installed seems to be not working very well. Sorry, but we have to cancel the flight", said the Pilot. We got off and people where furious. They wanted answers and refunds. I went to the ticket booth that was far away. They booked me for a flight tomorrow and gave me a free hotel and meal ticket. I grab my bag from baggage claim and hopped on the Hilton bus. They gave me my room and I texted Elaine. I called Gary and told him the whole story. Once I got off the phone, I odered room service and turned on the TV. I wanted to see Project Runway and they did not have Lifetime. FCVK, really! I looked for MTV and NO! DAM! I was pist. I was at the tipping point. If something else would of happened, I think I would of went off on someone. I decided to call it a night. FUCK YOU Boston!
