The Airplane Rides

31 Aug 2011

Still haven't crossed the International date line just yet.  Might be another hour or so.....

Synopsis of this morning: Woke up around 5 AM and was ready in about an hour.  We left the house around 8 and go to the airport fairly quickly.

The wait for the first flight wasn't bad at all.  The gate wasn't that crowded, but I got a random pat down.  It only took about 45 minutes to get to Dallas.

Once we landed in Dallas it didn't take long to find my gate and the DLW is too cool.  (It's got a sky rail.)  This gate was pretty crowded so I stood up most of the time (try the entire time).  While waiting I got my money exchanged and called my parents to let them know I was okay.

Still on said plane with about 4 hours to go.  For dinner we got either chicken or beef and I chose beef: mash potatoes, some kind of vege mix, a mushy wedge of cheese, pathetic looking salad, sucky piece of bread, something else I can't remember, and a cookie cereal bar.

I think they just served us lunch, but it was the most sorry excuse for a sandwich I had ever seen.  The bread was soggy, the meat was ham, the cheese was cheddar, there was dijonnase dressing, a plain biscotti, and a mint.  Also at this time I have already eaten all of my snacks.
