Yesterday started out pretty rocky. I was able to get on an earlier flight at 1:39 because there was an ice storm coming to Chicago. So I got on the plane, we went out to the runway and the deicer ran out of time. It 5 minutes too long... so we had to go back to the gate. Whatever engineers work at O'Hare really to do their, cause that should NOT happen. So we went back, fueled up again, deiced, and headed back out to the runway. Fifth in line, and then the airport shut down because of the freezing rain. So we went back... till 5ish. Four hours on a plane before take off is not fun. And my connection flight from Newark was at 8:15 and I landed there at 8:15. So I missed my connection, and was put on a flight at 10 to Zurich and then from there to Madrid. While I was exhausted and annoyed with United Airlines, I'm glad I got to fly on Swiss Air instead.
Top 10 reason I loved flying Swiss Air (in no particular order)
1. They had the cutest stewardesses.
2. The stewardesses had Heidi Klum accents. (We were total Americans and took pictures with them!)
3. On the less than two hour flight from Zurich to Madrid, we were served really yummy cheese sandwiches.
4. They passed out really yummy Swiss chocolates.
5. They gave us wine to drink.
6. They gave us hot towels at the end of the flight.
7. The personal tvs
8. On the long flight, we got dinner and breakfast, and both were pretty good.
9. They had really soft cozy blankets.
10. Did I mention they had really really good chocolate?

Spain has been good so far, only thing is my suitcase was left in Newark... hopefully it arrives tomorrow.
¡Adios!
