I'm back in the homeland. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in Chicago overnight due to inclement weather. My flight from Oslo to London was entirely uneventful. My flight from London to Chicago involved "a state of holding" as the flight attendant called it. The flight status monitors clearly showed that we made two very large (and turbulent) loops over Lake Michigan!!! The captain came on the PA system and told us we'd finally be landing, and when we started to approach the airport, we were sent away. It turns out there was an emergency on another flight, and they took our arrival time.
Long story short, my flight from Chicago to Minneapolis tonight was cancelled. American Airlines wouldn't let me check my (very heavy and awkward) bags tonight, so I'm at a hotel. I was really hoping I could take the El into the city and stay with my BFF Meghan in my old apartment tonight, but I have too much luggage to haul back and forth from Lincoln Park.
Okay, thank you for listening. I will stop ranting. We've all had our share of airline/flying/weather/travel nightmares, and I guess I should just be grateful that this isn't even close to my worst!
