So I made it to Chicago 40 minutes early - we landed at 4:45 CST. My connecting flight doesn't leave until 7:55 and I can drive home in 2.5 hours. So I call about getting a rental and they tell me it's going to be $300+. Are you effing kidding me?! I will rent this for a total of 4 hours! And I was crying and telling her how I flew all night to get home and my mom's having surgery today and I got nothing but $300. It's just ridiculous.
And I got word that my mom's surgery is at 2:00 so as soon as I get home, I will grab clothes and hit the road to head the 90 miles to the hospital. I'm just a few hours away from being with my parents...finally!
Thanks everyone for listening to me. I know I'm going on and on about this stuff. But I really appreciate you letting me hammer it all out on here.
Re: I just want to get home...
Have a safe trip! I'm sorry you're having all those problems though =[ I'll pray your Mom's surgery goes well!
ughh, i hope you get home soon!
(i have to fly to mexico tomorrow for a family member's wedding and i so dont want to go. This year has just been straight up expensive!)
Ah, gotcha I thought you needed it once you got home. It was early when I read your post.
