00:00
So I had a flight this morning
00:29
8.05 on Air Canada. I was in Connecticut. I take an Uber to get here
00:34
in time. When I'm in the Uber, all of a sudden they canceled my
00:37
flight. So it says you were rebooked. So I'm in the Uber
00:41
and I'm like, oh, okay, great. I'm rebooked for an hour earlier. So I'm panicking
00:45
will I even make it to Newark and catch the flight? 7.05 now was the
00:49
flight. So I say to the Uber guy, I'm like, we got to go fast.
00:54
Then all of a sudden I pull up the whole itinerary. Are you ready for this?
00:57
They rebooked me at a JFK an hour earlier
01:01
with an 11-hour layover in some place
01:05
called Port of Spain. Crazy, crazy. So of course I can't take that
01:09
flight. Wouldn't get in until tomorrow morning
01:12
and I was only going away for the weekend for two days. So we don't end there, right?
01:17
So I'm calm. I'm calm. I'm a surgeon. I'm used to chaos. You have to just think
01:21
logically. So I'm like, okay, I talked to a few people here. They're saying, if I were
01:25
you, I would not travel over the next three days. It's going to get worse. TSA
01:29
said that to me and the airline counters said it like unofficially. They can't,
01:33
right? But they gave me their take. So I'm like, okay, I'll go get a rental car
01:37
because I have a Connecticut license and the flight was canceled. They won't rent
01:42
me a car. Guess what I have to do? I'm going to U-Haul and I'm going to drive a
01:47
truck across country to get back to Utah because I have to be back by Tuesday.
02:04
I am currently booked on a one o'clock flight from Newark, New Jersey to Jacksonville, Florida.
02:10
Of course, it's 930 in the morning and I'm here out of fear that my flight could be canceled.
02:17
And if so, I know there is an alternate flight that leaves from Philadelphia going to Jacksonville,
02:25
Florida at roughly 4 p.m. So I would have time to hop on the train, which we know is not impacted
02:31
by the issues that are going on. But I'm very fortunate. I've learned weekly how to track my
02:39
own travel. I just found out that my plane left Tampa, Florida, coming to Newark, New Jersey on time.
02:46
So my plane is going to be here. So hopefully I will be able to leave from here and not have to go to
02:53
Philadelphia.
03:09
Philadelphia.
03:31
Okay.
