oh god chicago ohell international airport this year, american (I learned my lesson about United last year!) reamed me through that airport without lube
3 hour delay due to-get this-STUFF FREEZING (hey no shit, it's CHICAGO), missed connection to pasco, had to drive to there from fucking YAKIMA, argh. Total time getting from Chapel Hill to her parent's place-19 hours.
on the way back, ANOTHER delay in O'Hell for no apparent reason, got into RDU at like 2:00AM EST. A bit better on the back, only 15 hours.
traveling cross country is godawful
