How did I end up in Germany, you ask? The story begins the morning of June 4th when all of United Airline’s kiosks decided to break down leaving me stuck in a quarter mile long line wrapping the entire international terminal of SFO. I arrived 2 hours before my flight as instructed. After two hours had passed I was still in line to check in my bags and receive my boarding pass and had consequently missed my flight. Sleep deprived and anxious to get to Madrid I broke down at the Customer Service desk as the United representative informed me that there was no other flight to New Jersey that would allow me to catch my group flight in their layover to Madrid. I had no other choice than to change my ticket to a 10 hour flight to Frankfurt, Germany followed by a 2 hour flight to Madrid scheduled to land 4 hours after my flight with my friends landed. My Germany flight ended up being delayed another hour and a half stranding Tina and Christine in the Madrid airport for 5.5 hours! But we made it safely 36 hours later and thank God none of our baggage was lost in the mix up.
