plane drama!

my sister's plane was supposed to land at 10.45pm. when i checked the flight status at 9pm, it told me the plane would be delayed a good half hour. when i checked at 10, it told me the plane was cancelled. so i sent my sister a message asking her what the new plan was. she told me there was no problem, the plane was just seriously delayed. at 11, i called her to see what was going on, seen as both my teletex and the web were telling me that plane wasn't getting off the ground. they'd just been told the news and they were waiting for info. after a few minutes, though, it was not only confirmed, but they couldn't fly her out before sometime on Sunday...

i was angry and disappointed, although i'm sure not half as much as she was. so i got in touch again, wanting to cheer her up. turned out the airline was willing to pay the price difference if she found another plane. so all i had to do was find her one. thank god for the internet! after half an hour's searching, calling, confirming, etc, she was finally booked on the first available plane out, making her land before noon. not bad when you think that i half an hour ago sent out an email to all her friends telling them she wasn't coming after all! now let's hope she waked up on time, in the hotel room i'm seriously hoping they're paying for...

now going to bed. definitely need sleep after that...
