| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone, Emily Abadi here. You are listening to another installment of five minute |
| 0:21.4 | Friday greetings from Mexico. I am here for my first time ever. A little trip to relax |
| 0:30.2 | and wind down. I'm in Cabo San Lucas and wow, I don't know what took me so long to get to |
| 0:36.8 | Mexico, maybe just because it's a little farther than going to the Caribbean from the Northeast, |
| 0:41.3 | but this place is absolutely stunning. For five minute Friday this week, I am talking to you |
| 0:47.1 | about getting here, which was a hurdle for sure. So I was supposed to leave on Tuesday night. |
| 0:53.9 | I get to the airport. I'm on a night time flight around, I don't know, I think it was |
| 0:58.8 | 5.50, which was outside the box for me, considering usually I do any international travel on a flight |
| 1:05.0 | that leaves like at the crack of dawn, but I digress. So I'm on this evening flight. It boards on time, |

| 1:32.4 | A couple of hours go by. A few announcements like we're still waiting. We'll give you an update |
| 1:37.7 | when we have one, et cetera, et cetera. Three hours go by. At like three and a half hours, |
| 1:43.2 | they let us know that there's a rule. I believe it is three hours domestically, four hours |
| 1:48.9 | internationally is the longest that you can wait on the tarmac before you have to go back to |
| 1:53.1 | the gate. So they're sending us back to the gate. So we go back to the gate, the gate. And |
| 1:58.8 | right as soon as we get to the gate, a gate agent comes on and they are the person that breaks the |
| 2:04.4 | bad news to us that our flight is now canceled and that it will, we will not get out. And you know |
| 2:10.2 | what? Like, okay, we will not get out. That's the, that's the thing. So there's people |
| 2:14.0 | groaning on the plane. Everyone has a deep plane. Get off. And I never check a bag ever, ever, |
