Dreaded Delta

We are not huge fans of Delta, and after this vacation I don't think we will ever travel with them again unless it is our only option.  We had delayed and missed connections on our way to Puerto Rico, we figured it would be smooth sailing on our way home, WRONG.
After we got all checked in for our flight at the San Juan airport we quickly learned that our flight was once again delayed.  We tried everything we could to get on another flight, we were put on standby on various flights and tried to fly home through a different city.  We didn't have any luck, we were able to get on another flight a few hours later to New York.  Since our original flight was delayed we missed our connection once again.  Only this time it was the last flight of the night to Salt Lake.  Everyone on the flight was extremely frustrated, and sitting on the tarmac for an additional hour did not help every one's mood.  I felt bad for the flight attendants, people were taking their frustrations out on them.
After we finally got off the plane we had to stand in line for an additional hour to figure out how we were going to get home.  We had to be put in a hotel and wait until early the next morning.  By the time we traveled to and from our hotel we only got about four hours of sleep.  Thankfully my mom was able to watch our kids for an additional day or we would have been in big trouble.
We FINALLY made it home, a day late, and got to see our sweet kids.  Together with my mom they made us a welcome home sign and a candy bar poster.
