What a trip home. Too late last night when we got home.
No problems getting to the airport with our Super Shuttle. It's a very efficient way to travel in large cities when you are fairly close to the airport. Made it through security with a bit of a hassle. This was the first time that we weren't TSA pre-approved so I went through the pat down and hand check. Definitely inconvenienced, but I'll take safety.
Flight from SAN to PHX on early and allowed us to get a decent lunch before heading to our Gate B27. Did some reading, charged the iPad, and passed the 2 hours til our flight. We at least have had priority boarding so got to our seats. All was well and good until some very curious noises and a mechanic boarding the plane.
Captain - We have a leak in the hydraulic system. Looks like it's going to be about an hour to fix it.
10 minutes later
Captain - Looks like it's going to be more like 3 hours. If you wish to deplane, take all your belongings with you.
We deplane and look for a spot to perch for 3 hours. The bars sounded like a good idea, but we didn't want to stray too far.
5 minutes after we sit down:
PA Announcer - We have secured another plane and it will be departing from GateA27.
We hustle to A27 and just as we get there:
Pa Announcer - We apologize, but the Pittsburgh plane will now be leaving from Gate B28
So back we hike and eventually board the plane. 2 hours delayed .
Home - 1:15 am.
And that should do it for our 2015 travels. Not sure what is next on the itinerary so stay tuned!
