Background

This year, thanksgiving will, with any luck -- however unlikely -- be better than last. A bit more "on our terms", we have since August had tickets to spend about 10 days in Beavercreek. Already, things are not looking up as what was supposed to be a quiet first visit home is being trampled by a large number of my extended family dragging themselves back to the mother ship. I don't have anything specifically against my extended family when provided in single-servings; it is the crap that unfolds as they -- primarily my dad's side -- interact. Already, they've managed to add a level and kind of stress to which I have become unaccustomed, living 2500 miles away, and we don't yet (even as I write this) share a time-zone.

Day 0 - Delays

Part 1 -- Ground Transit

Parking at Sea-Tac is expensive. Even with a private service, to park our car for the duration of the journey would cost in the realm of 200$. Thus, we elected to take the Kitsap Airporter and save ourselves about 120$. Our 11:25 am departure required we catch the 8:15 am route, so Byran from work kindly dropped us and our luggage at the Silverdale Beach Hotel where the bus stops. "Be there by 08:05," they said, "the shuttle leaves promptly at 8:15, whether you're on it or not."

At 8:30, our ride had not yet arrived. A stop down an the hotel café yielded some of the worst coffee ever; undrinkable. Finally, 30 minutes late, the shuttle arrived. We loaded up and proceeded to make three more stops before getting on our way. Our 11:00 am arrival left us rather panicked; luckily baggage checking and security proceeded swiftly and without incident.

Part 2 -- Waiting

Arriving at the gate, we had time enough to grab some lunch-to-go and board the plane. We were not-so-promptly informed that the radio responsible to informing air-traffic-control of the plane's location had failed on its previous flight and was being replaced before takeoff, a procedure lasting no more than 15-20 minutes. From here, my memory is sketchy due to reading and dozing -- at least two other systems failed and/or required maintenance before departure. Our plane taxied to the runway at 2:30 and we were in the air no sooner than 3 hours delayed our original departure time. Needless to say, we would be missing our connection at Dallas/Ft. Worth.

Part 3 -- Air Transit

The flight was comparatively pleasant: comfortable temperature, decent air-flow, and friendly neighbors. The girl (girl? she must have been 20ish) next to us had her dog with her, a tiny 5 lb. pomeranian. This dog made Karma look like a brute and was quite sweet; only cried a little when her person got up for a bit and slept the remainder of the flight. The coffee was acceptable.

Part 4 -- The Connection

We landed in Dallas, TX at 8:25 pm local time. We waited in the mob of passengers who missed their collection for word of a suitable alternative and were handed a hotel voucher. After the crowd subsided, we spoke with a ticketing-agent and managed to change our connecting flight from an noon-ish flight to Dayton to a 7:00 am flight to Cincinnati.

After waiting for 40 minutes, we caught a bus to the hotel, the Wingate Inn North. The first good news of the day: a gas station and Denny's were both within walking distance of the hotel. Our meals involved some combination of pancakes, french toast, scrambled eggs, and 3 cups each of coffee. The server was very energetic and made it his mission to see a minimum of 4 cups of coffee each down us both. Something about catching up with him. The gas station provided a toothbrush and toothpaste as our toiletries were locked down in "a secured location" at the airport in our checked bag.

Part 5 -- Here and Back Again

The Wingate was a pretty nice hotel, one of the nicer places I've not slept in. Due to the general confusion regarding our flight status and not having anything even pretending to have boarding passes, we decided to catch the 4:40 am shuttle back to the airport. Three hours of sleep and a shower later, I started this log in the hotel lobby. The shuttle arrived early, though we had to wait on the driver to flirt with the woman behind the hotel counter. We're now at the gate and my computer's clock says 4:11 am. Our flight should be boarding in another 30 minutes. Meanwhile, Andi will attempt to locate our checked bag. WIth any luck, it will make it to somewhere in Ohio. My hopes of seeing a clean shirt are fleeting at best.
