Vacation

After my last post about the fear of flying I must say this trip was a lesson from God. We began our journey to Long Island NY with a flight to Minn. Upon arrival we went to our terminal for our 3 hour flight in and they told us we would have an hour delay due to storms in NY, after an hour they put us on the plane and took us to the run away and told us we would have to sit there for another hour. We were ok with it but really hungry. After about an hour they said that the flight was canceled and they were taking us back in. I have no idea what that meant.. do we get our money back, do they reschedule a flight for us, are we stuck in Minn forever? etc. well after getting off the plane, we saw the line for the rescehduling and it was about 100 people deep, and since Sam and I did not sleep the night prior we were like Screw this lets go eat and hopefully by the time we get back the line has gone down. Now at this point I am extremely bitchy.. my top three down falls are tired, hungry, and hot, and right than I was 2 for 3 so you can imagine my paitience was at zero. So sam just let me be me and after SBARRO's pizza it was like I instantly felt 100xs better and was ready to take on that line. I get in line and about 30 minutes later I am 5 people away fromthe attendant and I hear her say all flights are booked until the next morning. There were only single flyers in front of me, so they are def not going to have room for a family of four.. WHAT???you mean we'd have to stay the night in Minn? and the best thing is they do not pay for the fare for taxi nor the hotel!! I was like just calm down MElody and see what she says when you get up there... if those of you dont know I am a huge follower of the secret.. POsitive thinking.. I get up there and this lady says ok your already booked on the 645 pm flight for tonight.. I again said WHAT?? how did that happen you just told all those people you were sold out.. and she said I know but for some reason the computer automatically booked you four for this flight!! Can you freakin believe that? How blessed were we!!! SO long story kinda short we stayed 9 hours in a minn airport and finally arrived in NY at about 2 am. upon arrival the airlines lost our luggage.. (car seats and all) and I was like stay calm, went to the attendant and she said oh your bags are on the next flight in which just landed so itll be about 20 minutes.. again we were sooo blessed... My point is never in my life did I WANT a flight so bad than from Minn .. so I think I overcame alot there, not to mention I am sooo proud of us four for really toughing it out together, what could have ruined our trip made us feel so lucky to be together and safe. Here are pics from our well needed and deserved trip to Long Island, NY.
