we first began our friendship in the lovely dallas airport.. we'd already boarded the flight and gotten settled in when "we will be deplaning due to difficulties shutting/sealing the door.." came on.well, that just doesn't sound safe, right?
so we deplaned. and waited. (hadn't met yet at this point). i got some snacks and returned to our terminal. waited. saw an empty seat next to a girl about my age. she was on the phone explaining our situation so i sat and started my crossword..
"well i don't know if i will get to haiti today. i might miss the flight from miami.."
haiti?? awesome! we were going to the same island! wait, that means i won't be getting their either probably.. wonder why she is going to haiti.. maybe i will ask. no, that is nosy..
i asked.. turns out stacey is all sorts of awesome and we talked until they'd gotten a new plane for us. praise Jesus she was there because we were able to figure out all the reservation/flight change stuff together. we were both going to miss our flights in miami and have to stay there overnight.. in miami, we met up again at the counter to get our meal and hotel vouchers.
"so we should hang out tonight.."
yeah, we should!
and that's what we did. we were put in the same hotel so we watched tv in her room, ate dinner together, played on our computers, had a photo shoot.. it was really FUN. stacey was definitely the best part about the delay!
oh, and bonus: cara AND my 2 new roommates were on my flight the next day! got to meet 2 more people in the airport..

You're hilarious! You should just travel airports and meet an assortment of fun strangers. Write a book about it, I'd read it! :)
