After packing all night, I leave home Greensboro bound to the airport at 2am. 2am! I arrive at the airport around 4:30 and to my surprise, no one is there to check luggage. I thought, "how strange?". I moved my luggage over to some chairs and then I hear a lady call my name. Now I have to lug one 50lb bag and one 45lb bag to the counter. Because the lady was taking FOREVER, a security man asked whose bags were sitting unattended. Of course it was me! By the time I finally got my bags checked and walked back to my other bags, there was another security officer checking my bags. I apologized of course for causing suspicious activity.

But wait! I'm not done!

Why when the security people were checking my bags on the x-ray machine, they thought they saw sharp objects. I told the man I didn't have any; they were in my checked bags! :-). The guy proceeds to check my bag with all my underware sprawled out on the table. (How embarrassing!). He is actually hitting on me when he discovers the supposed sharp objects (combs for my hair). I was mortified!

What a crazy start to such an adventurous journey!

I had to wait at this little gate where the air conditioner was set on Antartica, but the temp outside was hot & muggy! Yuck!

The plane was sooooooo small neither one of my carry-on bags would fit. How frustrating! Then the really tall and skinny girl sitting beside me slept the entire flight with her mouth wide open. I thought the flight attendant was going to drop something in it. Surprisingly, she didn't snore.

When I arrived here in DC, I loaded onto the shuttle with the other passengers and as we were set to leave, I realize I left my phone on the plane. On the plane! I had to run back to the plane to get my phone.

See.....It's waaaaaayyyyy to early in the morn for this craziness. It's just 8am, and I haven't had a cup of coffee yet! I need a nap!
