This is why people should just stay on vacation

Well Sunday was our last day in Seattle and we ended on a high note by making a morning trip to the market (we had to go just one more time!), getting some Seattle's Best Coffee, and then heading to the airport.  The airport was PACKED!!  After being reassured by one Delta employee that I had plenty of time, and then being told by another employee that I should run, I made it to my gate only to find that they had closed the doors early and I had missed my flight.  Thankfully, there was a "higher-up" around and he was PISSED about the poor communication and that I wasn't on the flight.  So he pulled some strings, got me on the next flight out that was boarding in 30 minutes and got me upgraded to First Class.  Thank you Mr. Delta Guy!  I finally made home by 10 pm full of wine, fresca, peanuts, and sun chips.  :)

Unfortunately, my checked baggage wasn't given the same service and we're on the lookout for it.  Hopefully it turns up soon b/c I really want that new shirts I got from Banana shown above.  And good news, these shirts were bought with a gift card so I am still sticking to my goal of not shopping!  And I still have about $225 of Banana Gift Cards left!
