leaving Iowa

I have the worst luck traveling out of Iowa. To date, I have made 3 trips from Cincinnati to Iowa, and all three of them have gone off without any problems.

This weekend, I have attempted to make my 3rd trip from Iowa to Cincinnati or Kentucky. And, I have now had some type of trouble on all three attempts.

When I flew home from my interview, my plane out of Des Moines was delayed. That caused me to miss my connection in Minneapolis, causing me to miss a connection to Chicago. They rerouted me through Atlanta and I ended up only being about an hour later than I would have been.

When I went back to get my stuff a month ago, I took a bus. The bus I was connecting with in Indianapolis was overbooked by 30 people, so I ended up having to wait an additional 2 1/2 hours for the next one.

And now, I am trying to get to Tommy's wedding. I was supposed to go yesterday, but 90 miles into the trip, my alternator on my car messes up. So, I have to turn back to Ames. I booked a plane ticket, and now, once again, my flight is delayed, which will make me miss my connection out of Chicago.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh!!!!!
