Dental floss, no, not that one...

I hate Chicago O`Hare. Chucho Christ Almigthy. Everytime I have a connecting flight through there, there is always some issue. Go look through my archives, and I´m bitching every single time when I have a connecting flight there.

My flight that goes from Miami to Sao Paulo was cancelled because it was a codeshare between United and Varig, and as you all know, Varig went bankrupt and cancelled all its international flight. So of course I do that is OBVIOUS, I call the airline and make arrangements. They changed my flight to one United flight that instead of leaving US from Miami, it leaves from Chicago. I was concerned because of the hell hole called O`Hare. But I didn´t have much of a choice.

Ok fast forward, WHY IN THE HELL THESE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE TOO LAZY TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS STARTS FLOCKING THE UNITED COUNTER??? Yes they are part of Star Alliance, but what is worst is that, CAN´T THEY FREAKING MAKE ARRAGEMENTS DAYS BEFORE? And for stupid reason, UNITED decided to ABSORB passengers from the cancelled flight. I don´t mind putting people on the left over seats, but my ticket came as OVERBOOKED???? The counter person had the audacity to ask volunteer to give up their seats on this flight for the passengers of the cancelled flight. No, I´m sorry, if they are too lazy to make arrangements when they know the flight got cancelled beforehand, well screw them.

So not only the overbooking issue, but there was a delay due to weather... Weather from where? I don´t know, because it was CLEAR skies. It was pretty stupid to hear the captain says we can´t take off because of the bad weather while every passenger starts looking outside the window to try to find this "bad weather". The audio channel that broadcast the radio chat between cockpit and the air traffic controllers was replaced with regular music channel... Shady eh? The they come with some BS about putting more fuel.... Are they saying there wasn´t enough fuel before? What the hell.

Anyways I got here to Brazil fine, although my parents had to wait for hours at the airport. And it was just my luck when that I told my mother to wait at home, since she is very frail, but THIS time she decided to show up at the airport.

Ok weather is really nice here, although its winter. HAHAHA! Gota love that.

Dana, you know how your mother loves me? Yeah now, my mother LOVES you. HER words: "Be extremely nice to her and SHOWER her with gifts!"

Behave kids.

Oh any girls want me to bring some DENTAL FLOSS BIKINIS? Let me know. hahaha

PS: Carlos, I checked the Brazilian asian girl you mentioned, and she looks predominantly asian. Which means; No I do not find her hot. I seriously think western guys has some asian fetish/yellow fever going on. So, the girl, meeeeeh.

Funny... My dad was recently stuck in Minneapolis. They gave him the same refueling BS. And just by coincidence, while they were refueling, more passengers were getting on the plane. Liars!

Enjoy Brasil! I am jealous, but I'll be there again in a couple months :)
