We got back home this morning. United, despite not giving us bereavement fares, rerouted us through Denver instead of Chicago and shaved a few hours off of our return journey. Traveling can be such a pain sometimes, but it's difficult to pinpoint what I like least about air travel. Is it the lack of free WiFi in airports? Is it the horrid choice in airport restaurants – or the horrid prices those airport restaurants charge? Is it the turbulence on the plane? Is it the fact that you have to pay an arm and a leg to book last minute travel (and no, I couldn't find an airline that would offer us a bereavement fare). I'm still trying to decompress, and doing a horrible job at it.
