We get there try to check in and we're told that his cage is too big and he needs another one. We had planned for him to go into cargo but apparently they don;t do that. The only way he can go on is as a carry-on which complicated things for me and my brother because we each had our own carry ons so again we had to scrap that idea and put one of his bags in cargo. Unfortunately hit another snag; my brother brough his entire fucking wardrobe with him in his bag so his was over weight. Instead of sending most of his clothes to texas in boxes he keeps all of them... So obviously his bag is over 50lbs mine was a little over by like 3lbs but his was over by a full 17lbs. So we had to distribute the weight which wasn't really a problem. I ended up giving my toiletries to my best friends boyfriend which I guess was appropriate because my best friend had cleaned my house out of things no one wanted the night before. 

After that was sorted out we had to call family members to get us a new bag which took a moderate amount of time. We stick him in his new bag and they say its all good. So figuring everything's fine we go eat and spend the last time together with my best friend. It was a good time but since it took longer than I thought there was a bitch of a line to get into the terminal. It was worth it so it's okay its just the issues that followed it. Customs was fine just a long line unfortunately because everything was done online there was also reoccurring issues of us not having any identification for the cat. Luckily right before we get on the flight the lady looks into our file and sees the cat and prints something out for us.

So we're now on the flight thinking every thing is fine but we keep getting delayed. We boarded around 5:15-5:30 ish? And got off around 9:00. There were thunderstorms in the area so I understand being delayed but right when we were about leave we passes some limit of how long you can be on an active runway and not actually leave, so they had to bring us back. Everyone was pissed and th airlines basically spit in our face by not putting anyone up in hotels but at least they were willing to refund the money paid, and book us into another flight, with ANOTHER airline. Hopefully American Airlines isn't as horrible as fucking US- Airways.
