Where I stayed

Airport/On the connecting flight

Flag of United States Dallas, Texas
Saturday, August 29, 2009

As the time to board my flight got closer, questions filled my head. Is this real? Am I really doing this? Is my husband really that great that he is supporting my educational adventure? What is it going to be like? Do I have enough outfits? Was it a good decision to pack that pair of tight jeans?

My hands were shaking as I approached the gate in Dallas to board for San Jose. So…I did the only thing I thought logical…I purchased a big a** cheese danish at Au Bon Pain and scarfed it down while I stared, unashamed, at the cutest old woman in a bright red wheelchair.

I got a window seat, near the front, in a row by myself…sweeeeeet.

So there was an in-flight movie

From the air

. As it was coming on I got all excited because I thought that it was Teen Wolf. Really Abigayle …Teen Wolf? Michael J. Fox playing basketball with tuffs of hair protruding from his baby sized uniform? Really? I am not sure which is worse—thinking that the movie might be Teen Wolf or getting excited that the movie might be Teen Wolf. Either way…I am a total dork.

So during the flight I had a perfect view of the front of the lavatory. Some guy cut a lady in line and I was sure a melee was going to ensue. Instead the lady let him go ahead of her. I guess because she had booty duty. She was in there for like 27.5 minutes. The line for her dooky dome was up to 8 unhappy aisle dancers. I am sure that there was a tell-tale odor, but thankfully it was masked by the lady two rows ahead. Her strong a** Charlie-Jean Nate'-mix lotion was potent.

I probably should have worried a bit about the lavatory linger-ee and been sympathetic that perhaps the in-flight meal did not quite agree with her, but…well…I guess I am just not that sensitive.

Between monitoring the bathroom line and reading my book, I took time out to stare out of the window. Outside was a world of big fluffy clouds. At some points I could see open water, eventually the sunset and finally huge clumps of lights illuminating worlds I was eager to explore. I’m almost there Costa Rica…just a little while longer.
