This weekend Ashley, Mom, and I had planned a girls trip to Tubac for the weekend. Our plan was to relax in the sun, go to the spa, and drink some good wine. So, on Friday we woke up super early at 4:15am and headed to the airport. Our flight was set to depart at 6:40am, we checked in and went to wait for our plane and then noticed a message saying that we needed to see the Frontier agents. Apparently our plane had mechanical problems and was canceled, so we had to go wait at the ticket counter, which took an hour to even get to the counter....This is Kansas City it is not normal for it to take that long to get helped. Anyways, we had to switch airlines in order to get to Tubac anytime soon. So, our new tickets were for a 9:30ish flight with a stop in Dallas and then to Tuscan. Our plane arrives late because of weather and we are finally off around 10am.
We finally approach Dallas just as the pilot announces he has some bad news...He has been directed to circle Dallas for 30 minutes to wait out the weather...of course 30mins turns into 60mins and then we get another announcement that he has some more bad news, "We are running out of fuel we will have to fly to Shreveport,LA to get fuel." That's right we had to fly to a private airport in Shreveport to get fuel along with about 10 other flights that were diverted there. And, once there we waited on the tarmac for about 3-4 hours! Finally we were allowed to head back to Dallas where we were told we were all re booked on other flights....This all happened Friday and they had re booked us on standby for Saturday at 5:30pm! We were supposed to have been in Tucson by 10:30am Friday morning and now we were not going to be there until 9:00pm on Saturday.
Of course they wouldn't work so we canceled the AZ trip and just stayed Saturday in Dallas at Ashley and Alexs'. Although the trip did not go as planned it was not complete bust.
While in Dallas we hung out with Alex and his parents and went out to eat. We ate at the famous Rudy's BBQ .
We also ate at the Chef Point Cafe, which has been featured on Food Networks, Diners Drive-ins and Dives.
Oddly enough both restaurants were inside gas stations....But the food was delish!
