When you see this entry, you would have figured that I've got problems with my flight again. Just last night I was telling all of you that I might not be able to update so often. Guess, what, I think I might be updating more often than last week. Anyway, here is what has happen.
I woke up this morning and notice the strong gust of wind together with heavy rain. No wonder my early morning flight was canceled. The weather forecast must have given the flight operator a heads-up on the upcoming violent weather. Nevertheless, I've already arranged for a afternoon flight and I am sure the weather would have improved by then.
I went early to office to sort out some administration stuff before leaving for my afternoon flight. And I regretted making that decision. In UK, when there's a report of strong wind or adverse weather condition, they mean it. Walking out of your house under a adverse weather condition is basically challenging mother nature. I walked out of my house with an umbrella (with hope that it would shield the rain) and my luggages. But that is only to realise that challenging mother nature was a bad idea as within 2 minutes, I was soaking wet. Great way to start the day.
I managed to get into my office with my morning hairdo wrecked by the wind and rain. Just when I was relaxing and enjoying my sausage roll I've got from the office canteen, I got a call to inform me again that my afternoon flight was canceled. Che bye!
I tried to arrange another flight for this evening just so to avoid having my work delayed. After 45 minutes negotiation with my Company's travel agent, I managed to get myself and the team on another flight this evening. And guess what? While I was in a cab on the way to the airport, I decided to check the flight departure and again, che bye, was informed that the evening flight was canceled.
So, now ladies and gentlemen. That was my last 20 hours of experience of traveling under adverse weather condition. If it makes it easier for you to imagine, picture me on Amazing Race channel with business suits runing up and down to get one destination to another. I have arranged for another flight for tomorrow morning. And like every episode of Amazing Race, will Bob be able to catch a flight out of London tomorrow? Or would he end up swearing 'Che bye' again? Stay tune...
