No love from Delta or the Northeast
My return from North Carolina to Tampa tops the list of the most frustrating flying experience so far. Normally I fly Southwest between Tampa and Raleigh, but this Spring Break was a little different because I was hitting Chicago last weekend and flying directly into Wilmington to spend this past week with my girlfriend. Going against her suggestion, I decided to use Delta for the trip because it's one of the two airlines that flies into Wilmington (the other being US Airways). Well, thanks to the bad weather in the north many of the Delta flights that go through Atlanta were canceled, and I was told the earliest I could leave was Tuesday morning. Normally I would be thankful for an opportunity to stay in NC longer, but since my girlfriend left for Indianapolis this morning, I had to get moving. So Delta bought me a $180 taxi cab ride from Wilmington to Raleigh where I'm sitting now, waiting to fly out later this afternoon to arrive in Tampa at 2:30. Frustrating enough, but the ironic thing is that I was just in Raleigh yesterday visiting family.
My countdown timer in the right sidebar isn't moving fast enough...
