Pit Stop in Atlanta

So I was very sad to leave Disneyworld, but also excited to hit a city where I could take my time and spend my days at leisure.

That so did not happen.

My flight from Orlando to Atlanta was late so I missed my connecting flight by THREE MINUTES. Wtf is wrong with these American airports? Can't they see their system doesn't work? I ran from one part of the airport to the other and even though they knew my flight had just landed and that I was somewhere in the building, they decided to leave without me, stranding me in Atlanta for 7 hours. I'm so pissed off at how these aiports "work" (as in, don't) because Sydney airport never does this. In Australia, if you are checked in, they will page you across the entire building to tell you your plane is waiting for you at your gate. And I say gate as in singular, not plural, because back home, they don't change the gate every hour.

So I got to my hostel at almost midnight and was getting pissed at mum because she kept texting me asking if I had arrived despite my four back saying YES and it turns out her phone/sim was switched over from 3 to Vodafone and they didn't tell her and she wasn't getting any of my texts and was getting really scared. I hate that they made my mum scared. Complaint letters are on their bloody way.

All is good now though. I shared my dorm room with three girls from Romania last night and one gave me a bus ticket for Boston (yay! Thriftness!) but they have checked out now and I have the whole room to myself :) Spending most of today in bed, aside from heading out to do some grocery shopping. Might take 2 or 3 DDO's this week. I need it.

And now if you will excuse me, I'm off to marathon some Once Upon A Time.
