I could've driven here!

I did a lot of waiting yesterday, so I can't exactly say my day was eventful, since I wasn't involved in many events. But my trip to Chicago definitely did not go as planned. To begin with, I had to take an earlier shuttle to Houston then I wanted to. My flight wasn't scheduled to leave until 2.30 pm, but the only shuttle I could get left our place at 5.00 am. So I was going to sit in the airport for about 7 hours. 'Fine,' I thought, 'I'll do some work.' Then my flight was delayed 4 hours! Not a crisis, but I ended up sitting at the airport for 11 hours! I finally arrived at O'Hare in Chicago at 9.30 pm. But the train ride from the airport to my host's place was an hour and a half. So from the time I left our place to the time I got to his place was 18 hours. I could've driven here in that time! Ironically, I saw Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for the first time a few weeks ago, and it has been playing on TV quite a bit recently. Why is this ironic? Because the movie is about the misadventures of two guys trying to get... where else? CHICAGO! It must be something about the city...
