My flight nightmare continues

When I told Mommy that I was already at Phili airport, I was quiteoptimistic about my connecting flight back to Long Island. I was wrong again. This final flight delayed for about one and half hourfor unknow reasons. Actually we already saw the aircraft waiting at the gate, but we had to wait there to get board. Once we got board,I thought OK, it finally got to take off and back home soon. But I waswrong once again. When the aircraft was ready to take off, I mean reallyready to take off. the flight agent already announced all the safty instruction and the door was closed for a while. And suddenly, some body knocked the door (I was sitting in the front arrows, so I couldhear it is really some body was knocking the door), and the flight agentopened the door again, and she said we had additional passenger need tobe aboard. And we waited more than 30 minutes, a big fat woman show upin a wheel chair. Because she can not walk, so they have to bring a special devise to let her board. (This flight is US-Airway-express, and it is a small jet plane. We had to take ladders to get board.) After they fix the devise, and finally the woman sit on her seat, another 20 minutes gone. Anyway, when I got home finally, I found myself delayed by a whole day than my original plan (back home on Thursday). I wasted 24 hours for nothing.
