Will we EVER get there?

I left the house this morning much later than desired, so I got to the airport just over an hour early instead of 90-120 minutes. Security also seem slower than “normal” (even though we have that brand new terminal in OKC). But no sooner than I sat down did the airline announce that our plane was delayed by mechanical issues. They announced new departure times, but made two or three additional announcements afterward that pushed our departure time back far enough to impact my connection in DFW. So I had to get my Dallas to LA flight changed. Turns out that I got one of the last seats on the new flight, so the rest of my group got put on a seperate flight. On the good side (probably the only redeeming aspect of the traveling out to CA), I got to fly First Class on that otherwise fully booked flight. Once I got to LAX, I had to wait for the rest of my group for over an hour since they had a later flight out of Dallas.
