It's a bird, It's a plane, It's delayed!

First off the fact that i am writing in my blog so much is cuz im stranded i do not believe this is going to be a daily thing - but who really knows!
Well here's a summary of my flights: I was scheduled to leave monday Dec 27 at 6:20pm. Stop in LA and fly to Melbourne.  It was cancelled.  I then got a flight for Wednesday Dec 29 at 6:30pm.  Stop in LA and fly to MEL.  Then my dad got them to get me on flight tonight (even though the airline said it was totally booked).  The new flight was supposed (past tense is on purpose!) to leave at 6:30 tonight.  Stop in LA stop in Woodoak? and fly to MEL.  The NY flight has now been delayed 3 hours.  I am now missing the LA and on flight! AH!  Hopefully I will get on a different flight in LA when I arrive there - hopefully tonight.  Can everyone please pray for me? thanks! the best part about all of this is that there is this amazingly sweet family in melbourne that is willing to drive 40min to pick me up at the airport.  I have never met these people and I keep changing the time and date on them.  soon theyre just gonna give up on me (God forbid)!
Well it seems as though the misadventures have begun and Im not even in a foreign country yet.
