Gorilla in a Birdcage

WTF!! I could just end my post there and that would be sufficient but you know I won't. Unless you're going somewhere to save mankind, there's no reason to sit on an airplane that long, there's just no reason. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.....Jaci! Adam and I got to LAX which is madhouse and spent like forty-five minutes checking in and figuring out where to go since everything is labeled like crap. We finally get up to our gate and there's like 300 people crammed in waiting for the plane. I thought we were in trouble but it turns out the plane we were on was like something out of a cartoon. I can't even believe there are wheels that could hold that thing up not to mention enough thrust to get it in the air. I think we had a 30 minute running start down the runway. They put us in the last row, which was row 95! and I was thinking 3 and 3 for each row but it was actually 3-4-3 for each row, there was first class way up front and business class on the second level. I asked about upgrading to business and he said, "sure, that'll be 2K". I said.....in pesos? Needless to say we rode in fiesta class....arribba! Adam and I were given the ends of the 4 seat row and nobody sat between us....it still sucked. Everyone keeps saying the flight back is packed, I'm not sure I can handle that. I think I am going to keep extending until they get this teleportation thing figured out.....I hear they are doing some amazing things in Luxembourg. We were supposed to leave LAX at 10:30pm and land PHL at 5:55am....two damn days later but they didn't stop for fuel in Guam so we actually left at 11:00pm and got in at 3:20am so it wasn't that bad.....what's 13 hours between you and about 1200 strangers at 38,000 feet?
