Flight Gone Wrong!!

 Our flight back from Punta Cana was delayed waiting on 2 passengers. ugh!! We had a quick layover at Chicago with only 1 hour to get through customs and everything so we did NOT have the time to spare. We were the crazy couple running through the airport from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 since the lady waiting for us when our flight landed with 'Express Passes' mistakenly told us our plane departed from Terminal 1. The passes did nothing special for us! You know what kept running through my mind besides missing the next flight was the movie, "Home Alone" I believe where the family is running through the airport like crazy maniacs! We ended up making it to our Gate right at the exact time and lucky for us there was a sick lady on the previous flight so they had a 13 minute delay so they could clean up after her.

Well, this would all be funny except our luggage didn't make it on the flight. We watched the guy in Chicago put it on the belt, but it didn't arrive with us. Our bags were even 'Orange Express Tagged' so they were aware! Thankfully the airport had it delivered to us on Christmas Day. Here's to an adventure to remember!!

I used -
Carta Bella 'Travel Stories', 'Practically Perfect' pp's
Echo Park 'Scoot' pp's, Stickers
My Mind's Eye Chipboard Accents
Pinkfresh Studio Puffy Alphas
Doodelbug Sequins, Alphas
