A new record¹²

What an adventure! We were on the ground at LaGuardia Airport. We were delayed for three hours, and I entered into the plane half an hour early, before the flight. The pilot himself was sick of making announcements! [laughter] He said one thing, and then he had to say something else. At one point he said, “I do not know what I am going to say.” He was being instructed by someone. Once he said forty planes were ahead of us! Then he said thirty planes were behind us. He was so embarrassed! In that way, three and a half hours we spent on the plane.

Three and a half hours is a record. I love breaking records! I have never spent such a long time inside the plane waiting to depart. Outside the plane, at the airport, we have spent so many hours, but not inside the plane. And when we arrived here, rain had to greet us. What can we do? This is our fate. Some people were coming from Seattle, but they got stuck in New York. What a sad experience! Let us hope that tomorrow nothing happens!
