I have also learned that Delta…

When the…

I’m headed to Logan Airport in Boston, MA to fly all the way to Los Angeles, California tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m.” I said with a sarcastic attitude. “Well I don’t see why you didn’t just take a straight flight to California… it would have been much quicker and you wouldn’t have to be out in Boston…
