Lessons From San Fran Sisco

So i went to my trip from the little back to , the flights had two stops, first at from than at from Prague and final destination San Francisco.

The things started to complicate when we were told that we can’t land at JFK due to president Obama leaving the airport. We started going in circles near New York, however after two circles we were running out of gas so had to refuel, we took a ~20 minute trip to Bradley airport.

We stayed there for two hours, either waiting to be fueled or listening to apologies on how the fueling should take less. After that time we set direction to JFK, by the time we reached the airport my connection to San Francisco was supposedly (according to an airport employee i asked) already flying :/. Problems weren’t solved by simply getting to the airport, i had to go past the customs and immigration office. They had two problems with me, one i don’t know when am i leaving the country and two i come back after being for about 9 days abroad . The first officer was just smirking and took me to the suspicious office, or however they are called. It is worth noticing that most people in there were either latinos, muslims or indians.

I waited there considerable amount of time (probably something like 2 hours) and when it finally come my turn i was done in like 5 minutes. I explained the guy that i am IT freelancer and that i like the weather and IT events in California and poof he made his decision, the rest of the 5 minutes was either typing in bureaucracy or advising me not to come again on the visa waiver before say, next summer.

Ok, so, i’m legally in the US, but i missed my flight? It is the first flight that i missed , i spent quite some time searching for Czech airlines to fix the mess they made, but i couldn’t find them. I gave up and looked for United, the airline that is supposed to take me across the US to San Francisco, they were very quick and professional, they issued a new ticket for a flight tomorrow morning at 6am.

Where does this leave me? I have food, coffee, internet but not shower :/. I stink and i have nowhere to go till 6am (nexxt ~8 hours), i guess you can’t have them all?
