And the adventure begins

Well, this has begun well. I get to the airport on Wednesday and see that my plane has a 40 minutes delay. Okay. That is manageable. I have a 1.4 hour layover, so I should be fine. Well, it turns out that delay is exacerbated by two things: the plane in the gate I am using has mechanical issues and the flight from NC to Boston that I am supposed to board, is also delayed. So, I talk to the gate and they tell me that there is no way I will make my connection in NY to get to Buenos Aires. Try 1: fail. Try 2. Thursday morning. I get to Logan airport in Boston hoping to catch a 3:05 plane to JFK (and luckily a 3:05 because the other 3 flights to JFK for today have been cancelled due to weather in New York. So, I get here around 12 and realize that my flight from JFK to Buenos Aires has been pushed back to 6:30 AM on Friday morning. I was supposed to arrive at 10AM on Friday morning. Now, the plane will get me in at 7:30 at night. Well, so, my 3:05 flight doesn't take off because there are mechanical issues with the plane. They announce that there will be a second plane that we can use. When we are about to board, we are told that there will be an even worst delay because of mechanical issues with the second plane. I just want to leave. I already have a 14 hour layover in JFK before my 14 hour flight. What more could happen? Let's just hope they don't cancel all the flights today, I couldn't handle that. I have already missed a day and a half in Buenos Aires of meeting my host family and orientation regarding transportation issues in the city. I am a patient person but even my patience is being tried here.
