Welcome to Miami...you can't make this stuff up!

3:15am: my alarm goes off and I reluctantly get out of bed
4:00am: I arrive at the airport – love that early morning traffic! I was super early and there wasn’t a line at security
5:40am: I’m on my way to Miami
9:40am: Land in Miami, check my e-mail and head off to get my rental car
9:45am: I realize I forgot my GPS and it will be an interesting morning.
10:30am: I stand in line at Hertz for 30 minutes to pick up my rental car, next time I’m using National. The lady makes me prove that I actually work for Kraft – seriously!?!
10:45am: rental car secured
10:45am-11:00am: Driving around the airport lost-in my defense there was construction…
11:00am: I stop my car to try to figure out where I am, a little too close to the airport and get surrounded by cops. They determine I am in fact not a terrorist and provide directions…and an escort, since I am clearly very lost!
11:40am: After following the friendly cops directions I realize I am again lost…welcome to Miami…I stop in a design shop and talk to a very tan gentleman with notably the most beautiful teeth I have ever seen and he directs me to turn around and drive 45 minutes in the opposite direction…BAH!
12:15pm: I arrive, only a mere 30 minutes late for work and go on with my day…lovely!
12:15-4:30pm: work, work, work!
4:30pm: Return to the airport, on the highway following the very clearly posted signs…why was it so hard to get from the airport???
5:30pm: Sit down to work and have some dinner while I wait for my flight – after 30 minutes a waitress has yet to show…I settle for Starbucks for dinner.
6:50pm: my plane boards – more work
7:20pm: electrical problems, headed back to the gate…without lights or AC
7:40pm: apparently they are all fixed, and the pilot “hopes for a safe an uneventful flight” yes he really said that!
9:45pm: land in Chicago and all I want is my bed – goodnight!
