Boston Logan International Airport

I haven't been able to get to sleep before 2 A.M. for the last 10 days. Part of it has been because of choice and the other part has been because of my travel schedule I have had for the last week and a half. Today, however, I am dragging on 2 hours of sleep because of my "scheduled" 6:45 A.M. flight this morning.

I am sitting at gate A14 at the Boston Logan International Airport and have been sitting around the airport since 8 A.M. (EST).

It started out with me approaching one of the attendant about my flight. When they looked up my itinerary, I was told that my flight had been canceled and that I would miss my flight. As you can imagine, I ready to have a conniption and to share some choice words with the lady helping me (which I'm glad I didn't - there is no need to make someone else's day bad just because of my bad luck). The Delta Representative had me call American Airlines about the issue because I booked my flight through them and that my flight return home was just a Delta Connection flight. When I spoke with them I was told that my flight had been canceled and that they couldn't help me out. After telling the Delta Representative this I was told to go and speak with one of the supervisors for American Airlines.

In the end, I had another flight booked for this evening (5 P.M. departing and 8:30 P.M. arriving) and they compted me for the flight that I was supposed to be on that they canceled my ticket. I should be mad and upset, but I'm trying to rise above it and be the bigger person.

While I was waiting to be able to check in I met someone named Abraham. He is 21, lives in Boston and works for Delta on the ground crew. He is also a Marine and has been working with Delta for the 8 years off and on between his missions as a Marine. I learned a lot about what he does and some of the great perks of working for Delta Airlines. For example: he told me that he can travel free to anywhere in the world any time he wants to (and I'm talking first class). He told me that if he works for them for 10 years and then retires that he will be able to travel for the rest of his life for free as well as his family. It was really fun talking with him and we exchanged information and he told me that he wants to come to Utah in the next month or so because he hasn't been there (he has been everywhere, but Utah) and that we could meet up and I would show him around.
