Well Monday night I couldn't sleep. I was so excited about our trip to Madrid that I went to bed at 11pm got up at 2am, and could not go back to sleep. I was antsy and pacing until we got in the car on the way to the airport. Everything went smoothly at the airport, no line at check in or security, so we had a two hour wait. Then the adventure began. When it was time to board they said they had problems with the bathrooms on the plane and they had to get another plane which would delay our departure for an hour. Turns out that someone flushed a diaper down the toilet on the prior flight. So we waited for a new plane. One person's ignorance or lack of common sense disrupted the travel plans of a whole airplane and made a stressful day for the Continental employees, who I must say handled the situation very well.
We made up time in the air, but when we got to Newark we had to circle for 45 minutes because the Vice President was in the area or something. So we missed our connecting flight to Madrid and spent the night in lovely Newark, which actually allowed me to catch up on some much needed sleep and provided a nice break in a long flight.
A little pillow fight in our hotel room provided some nice laughter, and then we settled in for a good night's sleep in some comfy beds.
