Travel Day .... FROM HELL!!!

So, check this out!

Now, we all know that I HATE travel days, and I've written about some pretty horrible ones. Well, add this to the list!

So, picture it. Salamanca. 5 AM. I wake up to make it downstairs to leave at 6 AM. So, I get on the bus and we drive for about 2 or 3 hours to Madrid. So far so good.

Well, we get to the Madrid airport, and our flight is delayed a bit. No prob. We grab a bite to eat and we get on the flight. 

Well, once we get to Milan, we've missed our flight. But wait, that flight was delayed a bit too! We made it with about 20 minutes to spare.

Then, it gets delayed more. Well, then we had plenty of time. Some people grab some stuff to eat. I just waited it out.

Well, wait is EXACTLY what we did. For HOURS! Our airline apparently went on strike. Our flight got delayed again and again until finally it was cancelled. Then they put us on another flight ... which was DELAYED! Food places started closing. It was insanity. We didn't know if we were going to leave the airport that night or not.

Well, Brad and some other people were on a different flight. That flight was actually leaving, so we gathered the crew and some other peeps, and sent them off while the rest of us wait it out.

We finally get on a flight! So, we are all happy and I'm looking out the window watching them put our luggage on the plane. THEN, I watch them take all the luggage OFF the plane! 

Yah, so we get to Naples, and NO ONE from that flight has luggage. Oh, and neither does anyone from THE OTHER flight! NO ONE IN OUR ENTIRE CAST HAS LUGGAGE! 

So, we all head to the hotel. Hungry. No luggage. 20 hrs later.

Thankfully, we got our luggage the next afternoon. And we're traveling by train the rest of Italy! :)
