Summer training camp @ USA 07

Sorry, I broke my promise :( . I'd blame my laziness for not writing any posting recently.

Anyway, last two weekends, Latifah and I went to Lake of Ozarks at Missouri for attending a Summer Training Camp program. Instead of enjoying our holiday, we were really disappointed. We didn't blame the STC program but it was about our journey to the location. The STC program was held for 3 days but due to some obstacles on our journey we just been there for almost 24 hours. Sigh, it's really not worth it! but maybe there is a hikmah in all that happens; trying to be optimistic...lol~

We could spend more time at the lake if only we didn't miss our flight that Saturday morning. Our flight was scheduled to depart at 6.00 o'clock in the morning but, somehow the Northwest Airlines opened their check-in counters so late and that was the beginning of our misfortune day. At first we decided to check-in through the "e-check in" machines at the airport but it didn't work out. We waited for more that an hour to check-in and at the moment they opened the counters, there was already a lot of people and everyone was rushed to make sure that they won't miss their flight. Can you imagine the havoc situation? Everyone was looking to check-in faster, yet there were only four counters opened. Then, when it came to our turn to check-in, the worker asked us to wait and be patient as she had to recheck-in a family of 11 people luggages. I felt so angered because my wristwatch showed that it's almost 15 minutes to 6:00 a.m. How could I patiently waited? I've missed my flight once before, so of course I didn't want it to happen again. To take it into account, we then decided to try to check-in at another counter. Alhamdulillah finally, we managed to check-in even though we already missed the flight. Then, we had been put for a standby for about an hour before they assigned us for other flights which were Newark-Minneapolis and Minneapolis-St. Louis instead of Newark-Detroit and Detroit-St. Louis.

Our obstacles didn't stop there...(to be continued)
