Airplane chaos

So many of you may know the problems we always have when we fly at christmas, but we have never had problems when we flew in the summer time until now.
We had no problem getting to Las vegas from cedar rapids once we got to the airport. Jared was with me to help with the bags and dispite Addi screaming when we first got on the plane she fell asleep during take off and slept the whole flight. Well Jared left us to go back to school and Addi and I flew to california. We spent the weekend in Vegas with my Dad and sibilings. I was suppose to take off at 6:25 on sunday, but recieved a call sunday morning saying my flight was delayed 2 hrs and 15 min. This was a nice surprise I had never been called to say my flight was delayed so I didn't need to be to the airport until 6 pm. My Dad dropped us off and we made it through check in and security with no problems. I got to the gate and they gave me a meal voucher which was another pleasent surprise. We left a little later then was expected but no big deal, Addi fell asleep before we even boarded and slept most of the way. Then the fun began. We started to decend into Santa Maria and I saw it, the dreaded fog. As soon as we started to go back up in the air instead of towards the ground I knew we were in trouble. The piolet got on the intercom and said that it was really foggy but they were going to try to land again. Right then I knew that we were going to be heading back to Vegas (they always try again, but never land). I was right we turned around and went back to Vegas. When we got back to Vegas they told us to get in line and they would take our names and print off voucher for a hotel room. This was a relief because I didn't want to spend the night in an airport with a baby. the first 20 people got a hotel room with a shuttle to that hotel. Well I was in the back of the line because it took me a little longer to get off the plane, so I just got a voucher for $75 towards a hotel room. I didn't know where to go how to get there. How was I suppose to know what hotels still had rooms left and for less than $75. Keep in mind it is almost 2 in the morning. Luckily there was a group of guys and 2 girls that offered to help me. The guys found a a shuttle and found rooms at the excaliber for $71 so we headed over there just to find out that they wouldn't take the voucher. Luckily the guys called the Luxor which is right next door and they said they would take the voucher. By the time I got into a hotel room and the baby to sleep it was 3:30 am and I had to get up at 5:30 am to go caught a shuttle and get back to the airport for my flight that ended up being late any ways. We finally got to california and Addi loved all the attention she got from everyone on our way.
