When we were flying home a week ago Sunday, we were on the return flight of the same flight we took down a week earlier. When first getting to airport, flight was on time, but after sitting at the gate an hour, I thought I would take a check on the board to see if it was comming in soon....OMG, it hadn't even left Chicago and it should of been landing soon. Turns out there was some mechanical issues, so it was 2-1/2 hours late leaving. Had I been on that flight, I would of been a reck..We were very lucky the week earlier to leave on the button and onboard the ship by noon...Good thing it was Ft. Lauderdale port, just a hop, skip and jump to the pier, but still....
