I feel like Tom Hanks in the movie "The Terminal"

Well, this trip back to Edinburgh has been a bumpy one, that's for sure. First, my flight that was originally scheduled for 9pm departure from Phoenix was delayed until 2am. This also meant that my connecting flight from London to Edinburgh was cancelled. I called British airways and they rescheduled the flight for 8am London time. This meant that I would have to wait 13 hours for my flight. Well, no problem, I slept on the plane the entire way here, which made it feel like the flight was only about two hours long (I need to do that from now on). I had also taken a few Melatonin (which are GREAT!). The flight to London was extremely bumpy and at one point I thought the oxygen masks were going to fall down! Good thing I don't have a fear of flying because I would have been sweating bullets!!! Well, the plane landed and we had to sit on the ground for about 30 min. I went through immigration and settled myself in upstairs waiting for my flight that was going to be at 8am. About an hour later from sitting down, I received an email on my phone saying that my flight was cancelled yet again! So I called British Airways and just told them that I would take a train to Edinburgh. They are going to refund my plane ticket from London to Edinburgh. Now I have to wait 7 hours until the baggage claim area is open and 9 hours for my train (which will take 12 hours). Well, better make myself comfortable, it's going to be a long night... Will let you all know when I am finally in Edinburgh.

I can't believe you are gone again already! Hope you get there after sleeping the entire way.
