Travel Adventure: Erie, PA to Libby, MT Part 2 the chaos of holiday travel

Welcome Everyone! I know this one has been in the making for some time, but dealing with school and other stresses forced me to put off this Adventure for a while. This is The Mountain Kraft Take Two, coming to you with another travel adventure, which will definitely be one for the books. In this Travel Adventure: Erie, PA to Libby, MT Part 2, the chaos of holiday travel, I have to say that this trip will show that chaos is bound to occur when weather and other decisions made up the chain of command could inevitably render your holiday travel plans totally useless, as one little mistake can change the whole day that you had planned, into one where you may or may not be totally prepared. The chaos of this travel adventure began approximately 10 minutes before midnight on January 2nd, 2025. While enjoying the amenities of Glacier International Lodge, and when I say amenities, I mean their really good Hot Tub with jets, I got out of the hot tub to find that United had sent a message to my phone telling me that due to the pilots and crew not receiving enough rest as per federal law, my flight would be delayed until 9 AM on January 3rd. This was 3 hours ahead of my original departure time of 6 AM. If I had stuck with this plan, I would have missed both my connecting flights out of Denver to Washington-Dulles and then Washington-Dulles to Buffalo. Having school resuming on January 6th and having major tests that week, I could not afford to miss a single day of school. Thank God that Alaska Airlines came in just when I needed them. They had the only flights left out of Kalispell that day. United didn't have any available until the 6th, and Delta didn't have any for the next few days at least. So, our flight itinerary changed from FCA-DEN-DCA-BUF to FCA-SEA-PHL-BUF. So, A lot changed from the original itinerary. But there were some decent things that came along with this trip. First class, the lounge in Seattle, Philly cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, and for the first time on the channel, breakfast on a plane. I have only had breakfast on a plane once before this. Overall, besides the chaos of holiday travel, this trip was alright. Delays are to be expected, and for this trip this was no exception. I hope you all enjoyed the video, along with the new text and everything else I used to make this video better. Since I had to get a new editor due to capcut being taken down due to the TikTok ban, it was a good time to get something fresh, and that hopefully will serve for a while. The links, as always, to the Hotels used on this trip are in the description, and I hope you all like, share, comment, and subscribe if you haven't already. Also, please let me know if there is anything else you might like to see in the next travel adventure, and until next time, keep your compass true, and keep adventuring!
