Three Bags, two tickets, one passenger
1:05am Fall asleep
2:08am Wake up
2:16am Dressed and eating a half a PBJ (Breakfast)
2:35am Fill up the car with gas and grab some powdered donettes
2:43am On the road, try to catch some sleep
4:03am Realize the flight was at 6, not 6:30 (increase in speed)
5:20am First lightning flashes
5:26am Down pour of rain and almost constant lightning, plus some hail (dramatic decrease in speed, very scared!!)
5:52am Arrive at airport, quick goodbyes, rush in to check back
5:54am Too late, nice man at the counter gave me tickets for a new flight leaving at 2:30pm.
6:35am Find a few things for breakfast and lunch at a grocery store.
7:20am Ride airport shuttle bus with Kelcey and Klarie. Got complements on how much "my children" looked just like me.
8:45am In Independence, MO at the visitor's center of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
10:02am Say last goodbyes and get hugs
10:03-2:29pm Sitting alone at airport, snacking, wandering, reading a good book
2:59-3:15pm* Up in the air, trying to sleep
4:30-7:02pm* In the clouds, above the mountains reading a fantastic book
7:12pm Officially in Utah reunited with my bags waiting for brother-in-law
*Time changes made the trip look shorter
This was not my original plan on getting back to school (I was supposed to drive), actually I am not sure if any of my plans went the way that they were supposed to, but just like the change of flight, things happen and plans change. I know that everything happens for a reason, but I am still trying to figure out why I ended up on the flight that I did. I will probably never know.
