Day 2 - Stuck in Jersey [USA]


Well, 8 hrs after my last post, I definitely wasn't in Germany. The plane I was supposed to catch broke down in Ohio and never made it. So I spent the first night of my European vacation in Jersey.

As good as that sounds, I couldn't really go anywhere, because the plane could be fixed at any time, and fly without me. So I spent the last 20hrs or so checking in with the terminal. After rumor after rumor, supposedly the plane has left Ohio and will land in McGuire in about half an hour. It takes about 3 hrs to get ready to fly again, and then I should be off. I'm not holding my breath.

You can see my car is starting to show the wear that practically living in it for the last two weeks has caused. The inside looks much worse. Here are some stats from when I left Seattle on the 5th of Sept:

Hours driving - 85:33:07
Miles driven - 4767.3
Avg Speed - 55.7 mph

Gas Purchased - 215.86 gal
$$$ Spent on Fuel - $865.22

I gotta run, hopefully there's a plane waiting for me!

You're going to get on a plane that was late because it was broken?
