There were some serious crazies at the Radisson last night...

I'min Chicago.
Figure that one out.
God is giving me a comfort in confusing situations.
Our flight from Rochester to Cleveland was delayed, so we were going to miss our connecting flight in Cleveland to Los Angeles, so Continental Airways was kind enough to transfer us to another flight going to Chicago and then to Los Angeles.
Wait. It get's better.
So we made it to Chicago. But there were technical difficulties, so we had to wait an extra 25 minutes in the terminal.
And then they tell us.
Our flight's been cancelled.
Joy.
So we have to go to another terminal so that we can be put on the standby list for another flight to Los Angeles. By the way, the list was 38 people long. So we waited for about 45 minutes more just so that they could announce that the flight was full and they didn't have any other flights to LA that night.
So we stood in line again.
This time it was so that we could rebook and get United paid vouchers for a hotel and $30 worth of food at either the Radisson or the Airport.
So I slept on a Sleep Number bed last night.
And today, we opted out of flying home at 6am (after having been standing around the airport until near midnight last night) and we don't fly home until 5:45pm.
So we get to walk around Chicago.
I've never been to Chicago before. At least, I've never been out of the airport in Chicago before.
This is gunna be fun I think.
I'll be sure to take some pictures.
