We were supposed to catch our flight from Seattle to Oakland
and then we made it to Oakland and we just kept circling around
and they said that we were getting diverted to Fresno
and then we get here and then we sit here for a couple hours and then
they finally say that all the flights were canceled for the night.
And so we were waiting to see like if we were going to get a hotel or
if they were going to give us a hotel
and they just gave us a $200 Lyft voucher.
And that wasn't even enough for our ride.
I had to ask my aunt to send us like a Lyft e-card.
So yeah, now we're just waiting for our Lyft.
We had to have somebody take us from Aberdeen to the SeaTac Airport.
Then we had to wait like a couple hours at the airport.
Then we get on our flight
which it was even delayed a little bit for some reason
and then we spent a few hours in the air just
to land just to find out that there's no more flight.
Not even a not even a full like payment of our lift ride.
