For those of you who are unfamiliar with my travel curse, I will recap my travel from 2007.
(1) From: Baltimore
To: San Jose, CA (For Google interview)
Carrier: American Airlines
Intended Arrival Time: Evening of April 26th
What actually happened: Flight was canceled. My interview was at 10am the next morning. Most agents told me that I would not make the interview. Then, I found an agent that said I could make it.
Actual Arrival Time: April 27th, 3am
Return flight was without incident.
(2) From: Baltimore
To: Manchester, England
Via: Philadelphia
Carrier: US Airways
Intended Arrival Time: June 15th, 8:30am
What actually happened: Flight from Baltimore to Philadelphia was canceled. Jamo and I took a cab to Philadelphia to try and make the connecting flight, but we still missed it. We were rescheduled for a route via Brussels, and stayed the night in Philadelphia. There were delays due to mechanical issues in Brussels.
Actual Arrival Time: June 16th, 5:30pm
Return flight was without incident.
(3) From: Baltimore
To: Catania, Sicily, Italy
Via: Rome, Italy and Newark, New Jersey

What actually happened: I arrived, but my luggage did not. On July 9th, I received an update that my luggage was in New York. I received my luggage on the evening of July 11th (I left Baltimore on July 6th).
Actual Arrival Time: Amazingly, on time.
From: Catania, Sicily, Italy
To: Baltimore

(4) From: DC
To: San Francisco
Via: Atlanta
Carrier: AirTran
Intended Arrival Time: July 18th, 11:39pm

Actual Arrival Time: TBD
Consider this post a warning to all about traveling with me in the future. I think I am airport and airline kryptonite.
