Paris Internation airport – 1:30am

Sitting in a chair watching airport staff clean up , having no way to communicate with the outside world , watching everything going on and just not knowing what to do, trying to sleep is was out of the question, i had tried and just couldnt calm down to a point of being able to sleep, so the next few hours i wandered around the airport learning the exact layout , the airport was confusing as hell. time passed like it was in slow motion . eventaully i saw signs of the sun coming up ..

Paris international airport 7:45am

Headed back to hotel to see if i could see the people i was with that were able to get there rooms , in the time i had gone to the ATM and Euros they were already up to there rooms but i knew they wanted to meet up in the morning, Around 8:30am i spoted one of the people that were on the flights that ended up in this hell that brought me here, so in an attempt to get some sort of food i ended up trying to charge my breakfast on a card , which it worked but being so out , but being so paniced over the whole thing i had no apitite , so i ate very little , so i headed back to the airport and to the open support desk.

Paris int. airport – 9:00am

5 of us walk up to the desk and the ppeople there looked like there were going to get commision for plane tickets , Instead they were about get probably the hardest time they have had in a long while , the other people i were with got there problems resolved rather quickly , BUT , it turns out that the airline would not pay for the hotel rooms. i explained earlier tht there was one swedish woman with me and she had her problem resolved quickly .. me on the other hand………….

i start to explain my problem to the guy behind desk and at this point he looks ready to pull his hair out of his head. I show him all the tickets i have, and explain to him that i needed to get to stockholme sweden , he types up the info on his computer and he gives the stangest responce yet of this whole trip , ” you know you have a switchover to orlando florida” at that point i just gave up being serious and laughed it off. the more he looked at the screen the more he looked like he wanted to run off into the woods and not be seen again . he asked for my tickets and when he saw those all he said was “no,no,no, these are totally wrong. ” and started to work with the tickets and had tried to get me on a 1:55 flight but it was booked. than he tried a 3:00 flight that was booked (mind you the other woman that was going the same way as i got one of those flights) , he started to bring up the 5:55pm flight and said that was book and at said the last \earliest flight was tuesday , and i just had it. over tired exausted , mad, angry i just said theres no way i could do that i’d be stuck in stockholme , he worked with computer a bit more an got me on the 5:55 flight (not finished)
