The nightmare continues

Last week I wrote about all the stressful stuff that happened on the trip to the airport.
I'm sitting in the airport waiting for my husband's plane to arrive FOUR HOURS FROM NOW. He missed his connecting flight in Dallas because his first plane was late leaving.
I made sure to get here by 4:30 so I wouldn't have to drive in the dark. It's now 6:30 so I only have 3 1/2 more hours. Grrrrr##
Oh, on the way here I thought I was getting a flat tire. There was a garage nearby (thank God) and at first told me it would take an hour and a half to fix it. I realized that would put me getting to the airport and parking IN THE DARK!
After checking the tire, turned out it was only the sensor. Praise God I got here in the daylight. Now if my husband will arrive in this baggage area, I'm telling him he is never going anywhere without me again.
Ever.
Sure hope I can find a hamburger in this place that doesn't cost $50.

I bet you can't wait to see your husband. Glad to hear your tire issue was just a censor and nothing more like having to get a new tire. As for getting a burger in the airport big mistake you will definitely pay some big bucks.

You're right. I just paid $6 for a bag of chips and a bottle of orange juice. I refuse to pay $10 for a sandwich.

Both times have been very stressful, but I'm thankful they haven't been worse!

Sounds like you were having a not so great time. Hopefully you could find a decent burger at a reasonable price.

@1creekgirl that is just wrong. Reminds me of concerts I have been to where a bottle of water is $3!!

@ElusiveButterfly Any time there's no competition, places can charge as much as they want.

No burgers at all and I wasn't going to pay $10 for a sandwich. A bag of chips and a bottle of juice was almost $6. Airports know you can't go anywhere else to eat.

Thanks, he finally got to the airport at 10pm and we got home around midnight. I'm thankful he's home.

It really should be illegal to charge that much.

@JudyEv You're right, I'm glad the airport had free Wi Fi. I had brought a book with me, but on about the third page, it had God's name used in a very ugly way, so in the trash it went!

Thanks, Judy. I sure didn't think I'd still be in this airport for 4 hours. But only one and a half to go!

That's bad that your husband missed the flight since it was late. I know it didn't feel alright to wait for someone in the airport alone for such a long time. Besides feeling boring, perhaps you would still keep worried about it until the plane arrived at the airport safe and sound.

It will be great for you to meet up with him again and forget all the things that have happened. Airports are always expensive everywhere here and in England as well.Have a good journey back.

@1creekgirl I'm not a fan of the pumpkin spice craze. This time of year I enjoy the caramel brulee.

I see you've flown out of RDU also. I was glad for the free Wi Fi, it helped pass the time while I could be on myLot. I'm not a fan of Starbucks, but I bought a small cup of Pumpkin Spice, really not good and too expensive. I don't mind paying more if I really like something, but airport prices are a rip-off.

I dont blame you for never allowing him to go anywhere without you again. It has been a nightmare from the start.

I know it could have been much worse, but I will be thankful for both of us to be home!
