An even funner flight home!
SO we thought we had trouble getting to Utah, but that was nothing. In Vegas our flight was delayed 2 hours only to be cancelled after 3 hours. Luckily we have family in Vegas to stay with so we spent the night at Jared's aunts and went back to the airport the next day. Our flight the next day left right on time like it was suppose to, but then we couldn't land in Cedar Rapids because of the fog so they took us to Lincoln, Ne to get more fuel and try again. So after sitting on the plane while they put more gas in it we took off and tried to land in Cedar rapids after circling for about 40 mins with no help from the fog they decided they would take us to peoria, IL instead. We flew straight into a thunderstorm which was actually pretty cool looking and we landed just fine. They let us off the plane abd told us they were going to bus us home. The bad side to this is that the bus was coming from Cedar Rapids and wouldn't be to Peoria to pick us up for 4 hours and because of a Tornado Warning they weren't going to take our bags off the plane yet. So after being on the plane for 6 hours we were suppose to wait 4 more hours just to take a bus to Cedar rapids. So Jared ran to the car rental place only to find a huge line so he just asked if there was anyone that wanted to share a car. So we drove the 2.5 hours from Peoria in a rental car with 2 people that we had never met but the were both very nice without our luggage. We were told that we could pick up our luggage the next day in Cedar Rapids. What they did not tell us was that no one from allegiant would be there to give us our luggage until the afternoon, so I not knowing this dropped Jared off at school the next morning and headed up to Cedar Rapids. After being told by a security guy that Allegiant was sending some one over I waited 45 min only to be told that no one was there until that afternoon so I headed back to Iowa City to go to work in cloths that didn't really fit me since all my maternity cloths were in my luggage. We finally home and eventually got our luggage. Jared said that next christmas if anyone wants to see us they will have to come to Iowa. Al;though Tito was extremely good and never made a sound on the plane I would not want to go through that with a dog and a baby.
