Day one blues

Warning:  this is a vent.  I'm supposed to be flying to Dublin at this very moment but instead i'm cooling my heals in San Francisco at a motel.  My flight from Seattle was delayed 3 hours, then we spent an hour and a half on the runway.  The flight attendants kept telling me "not to worry, as all the flights flying into the Bay Area will be delayed."  

By the time I arrived at the Aer Lingus counter they had closed up shop and headed home (literally).  There were 10 of us who missed the plane because of flight delays.  I called Orbitz (India) who informed me that the next flight would be Friday and that they would be charging me $100 for a flight change.  I hung up and headed back to United where after another 2 hours I was booked on a flight to London that leaves tomorrow night.  This means i will miss the first day of the conference - disappointing to say the least. 

I then went in search of my luggage - no one knows where that ended up....just to give you a visual i'm sitting on my Travelodge bed in my undies as i just washed my shirt that i will be wearing again tomorrow :)  Too much info?  

I'll be heading back to baggage claim in the morning to see if they have located my luggage and then wait for my evening flight. I noticed the airport has a Reflection Room - i plan on hanging out there quite a bit tomorrow.....
