GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE!
I just had an adventure of a lifetime...
Fourteen hours and twenty minutes was more than enough to spend on a direct flight to New York. I was thinking of the place I should go for lunch with my friends as soon as we land. But fate chose another path...As we were about to land, the captain diverted our plane to Washington D.C. due to bad weather conditions in NY. As we flew over D.C. the captain said that the weather was horrible and that we'll be landing in Baltimore! It took us two extra hours to finally land. It was a relief to see the ground again. To make our situation worse, our plane ran out of fuel. We stayed on board for an additional five hours until they could finally tow us to the gate. I was getting frustrated and exhausted by that time. When we finally got off board, baggage claim took me forever to get my luggage. I couldn't stand waiting in a never ending queue just to inquire about my flight to NYC. I thought that I don't want to get on a plane for the next couple of weeks. So the train it is. But it was too late to go to the Penn Station. I had an expectation that I'd be in New York at 2:00 pm maximum, but instead, I ended up in Baltimore at 10:30 pm.
I was glad I could manage through such situation. I called up a hotel and got a shuttle to pick me up. As soon as I was awake the next morning, I reserved a train ticket and went straight to NYC. It was great to finally be here. I'm treating myself to some spa treatments and good food! After all, I've been through hell to make it to the big apple!
