ThuNYTX: 7. Should've been faster, but I got stuck on the top center.

Update: Many hours to go before takeoff, and travel anxiety is already setting in.

Uplater: Things seem to have settled down, but I've lost a lot of the time I thought I had today. Out for shopping soon.

Anxiety Turning to Rage.

So, because Spirit Air are assholes, my seven-day, six-night vacation has suddenly become a six-night, five-day vacation with flights getting into and out of Puerto Rico at 2 a.m.

I'm seriously this close to telling the travel agency to stuff it, stay at home for a week, and not worry about the tax liability for this shit.
