I woke up at 5:30 am of course, even though I did not need to wake up for at least another two hours. But when your this excited, what can you do.

The hotel we decided to stay at did not happen to have

a refrigerator nor a microwave, so I can say with

confidence, that I am a little hungry this morning

with the grumbles.

On the bright side, I do not feel tired as of yet, and I hope this feeling prevails throughout the rest of this day.

-6:33 AM

I went down to the hotel lobby at 7:15. I was suppressed when I went downstairs of the hotel I was staying at and that they didn’t have much to eat. While hotel food doesn’t tend to be very good, I thought they would at least have Jelly or better cereal choices.

 I have never been in a hotel where they didn’t have hot water and hot chocolate mix, nor one without a soda machine—however they did have good apple juice. For the same price and basic location, La Quinta (which I can see from my window) seems to be better than Day Inn.

My mom and I rode the shuttle from the hotel to the airport at 8 am. 

Then went and got my baggage checked in.

We didn’t have to wait in line, which was kind of funny, because right when we got there, a whole bunch of people came and got in line behind us.

We also stood in line for the personal item check area together

which was less of a "line" and more like doing the Conga

Then we were forced to part ways.

By 9:00 am I had bought and eaten a Subway sandwich.

At 9:20 am I bought a drink and some snacks for my flight.

Then I started my walk toward the gate for my plane.
