worst flight ever - MI to MN

Wow

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

my 1:20 flight to Minneapolis took 4 1/2 hrs !
First the plane was too heavy to cross the lake so they burned up some fuel on the runway.
Then we got detoured north to try and circle the worst of the winds (it didnt work) and then we ran out of gas !! Had to land in WI to refuel in order to handle the holding pattern around MPS/St Paul. So...three hours into the ordeal we WERE STILL 1:20 AWAY FROM OUR DESTINATION !!!

worst flight I ever took. couldnt even serve water as the plane was like being inside a rugby scrum for the entire flight

hope the winds are gone before the return flight tomorrow
