My rotten kid posted this on The Interwebz. Now EVERYONE will think I’m neurotic. (In my defense, it WAS quite some time ago. So she was ONLY in her 30s and needed her mommy, right? Besides, she appreciated me. FRA is the airport code for Frankfurt, Germany.)
It took 35 hours to get from FRA to LAX.
I'll admit that 3 of those hours were my doing. Our flight got in at 2am and they scheduled me for the first flight out at 6am. I was sick as a dog and the only cold/flu medicine I could find was NyQuil, which kicks my ass. I knew I'd never make the flight, so asked to be rescheduled to the 9am so I could get some sleep and partake of actual, non-airline sustenance (aka the hotel's complimentary breakfast).
I was also incredibly thankful for my neurotic mother that night. She was watching my flight times and knew I'd wind up having to overnight, so when I turned my phone on after landing, there was a text message with a hotel reservation confirmation number lol. While my fellow fliers were getting in line for vouchers, my germy ass was crawling into a cab.
