Airplane Travel enjoyment

Got back from vacation in Yellowstone last Monday and somehow lost all of last week to 'stuff'.

I think it had to do with loosing the sleep at the start of the week due to Delta. Somehow we left on time out of Jackson Hole, then had a 1 hour connection in Salt Lake that also left on time. Headed to Cincinnati for another 1 hour layover and then got hosed on a 2+ hour delay while they found a crew for the plane that was sitting at the gate the entire time. By the time we got home and to sleep it was 230am and I had to get up at 6am to head into the office.

As to why we would have booked a return with 3 segments - we did not. Thanks to all the cancellations this was how Delta rebooked us. All that said, somehow we landed at LaGuardia fine and our bags all made it through the connections.

That said - I was sitting next to two ~19 year olds on the flight from Salt Lake -> Cincinnati who were all cheerful about traveling. He stated he did not travel much at all, and she was heading out on her first business trip and was looking forward to the hotel and the expense report.

I found myself just shutting up and listening. I don't mind the trips, but wonder when in the 1.4M miles I've got with American I lost the enjoyment of it all...
