South African Journey

Orientation in Chicago starts today when we all were scheduled to meet up at the airport at 3:00pm. It is now 4:45pm and I am still sitting in Greenville's airport. We made it out to the runway, did a few laps, sat for 20 min. Then were informed that the elevator on the tail of the plane wasn't working. 15 min after we arrive back at the gate we were informed that the mechanic would be there in about 20 min and wanted the plane to be shut down. So instead of making us sit on a hot plane they let us unload. Roughly an hour later they make the announcement that the flight has been cancelled. Rescheduled flight time is 6:07pm...we might make it to chicago today...

Update:

5:45pm --> Due to bad storms in Chicago our flight is delayed to 7:30pm...at the earliest.
