My Thursday
Just realized I wrote this on Thursday and never posted it!
I am typing this at Midway Airport though this won't post until after I already land in Orlando. I refuse to pay $6.95 for one hour of internet access as tempting as it is. Being that it is September 11th, I was slightly worried to fly. However, of all days during the year, I actually figure the security will be highest today. I used my Southwest ticket I won last year at BlogWorld, so I had to go through the regular line instead of the the Express One. Surprisingly, my line was shorter! LOL I made through checkin in less than 5 minutes. Express isn't even that fast! Security was a little more hectic. However, I flipped lines and got into a shorter one, and it wasn't so bad. I've done this a hundred times and I still sometimes forget and put something like a bottle of soda in there (and then you feel like an idiot when they are like “what's in your bag” and I'm like “nothing” and then they pull it out — not that I've done that before. hee hee). From my last trip, I couldn't find my Wordsearch and my Dramamine. I just bought some at the aiport (goodbye $7). However, I really don't want to get to Orlando sick to my stomach, so you do what you have to do. I will admit even though I know this flight will be fine, I am more nervous than normal. Up to this point, I still haven't even gotten excited yet. Though, I know once I get there, everything will be fine. This is the first time I have felt as guilty leaving. Madison gave me a hug and kiss and told me to have a good day at work, so it isn't like she had a fit or anything (now, when I went to the Pampers getaway, she had a fit). Her main concern is that I bring her a bear home (aff) (she has a little collection of stuffed bears, so that's what she wants me to bring home (aff)). From the looks of things right now, it looks like there won't be a lot of people on my flight. However, we are all spread out, so this may deceiving. Its about 30 minutes to takeoff, so I am starting to get a tad antsy. However, I can feel the Dramamine kicking in, so hopefully I'll grab a little cat nap. I would assume we are boarding soon, so I am going to shut this down and I'll see you all when I get to Orlando.
Obviously, I got here in one piece. It has been awesome. I am super tired because they have kept us super busy. I plan on writing a more about Izeafest when I get home, so I'll give you all updates then.
I go through Midway quite often, and I hate the fact that their internet costs money. Luckily my company pays for a wireless broadband service and the signal isn't too bad at Midway. And given southwest airlines is late half the time I really use the internet a lot while I'm there.
Lisa, I'm glad all went well and look forward to hearing more of the details of your trip!
I'm glad you had fun! I look forward to your updates. 🙂
