Well today was the day that I would be heading to Catania. To start the day off I finished the last few things I needed (a.k.a socks and 1 more pair of shoes). After that was done we were ready to head to the airport, however, sometime must always go wrong. My handle that slides out of the suitcase was broken! So minutes before leaving the house my mom and I unpacked my suitcase and managed to fix the handle then re-pack still with plenty of time to spare. We got to the airport and met up with the two Ennis girls then the one and only Mack (only a few minutes late 😜). We got to the gate and all of us were ready to head to New York. Shortly after, we boarded and found our seats then only 10 minutes behind schedule our plane pulled away from the gate. As we waited on the Tarmac some 15-30 minutes later our pilot came out to deliver some horrifying news, our "clean air system warning light is on and prevents us from taking off". This made us go back to the gate and wait for Delta's people to come check out the plane, which they did. Afterwards the pilot came back for a second time and had everyone get off the plane. An hour later and still no progress as to how long the plane would be until it was ready to fly. Countless minutes ticked by and then our flight got delayed by such a significant time that we would've missed our connecting flights. So here I am, back at my house that I left at 9:10 this morning (expecting not to return for 3 weeks) writting my first blog...Round 2 tomorrow morning, fingers crossed the plane works this time.
