    Pics Coming soon!

    We awoke at 3:30 to get ready and head for the airport. We left for the Richmond International airport around 4:40am and go there a little after 5:00, parked in economy lot A row S2 and caught the bus to the airport. We checked in with Northwest airlines and headed on back through security. Security was crazy but we made it through and gathered our belongings and headed to the gate. I was really nervous and stayed in the restroom most of the morning or walked the terminal to keep busy. I was shaking all over. Finally time had arrived and we boarded the plane sat down and got settled... then the pilot comes out and tells everyone we need to get of the plane.... It had a flat. So it will be a delay to get it fixed... then they booked our connecting flights out of St. Paul later so we wouldn't miss them. Then they came on again and told everyone they need to go retrieve their luggage from the carousel and get other flights. We stood in line forever and then got another flight leaving at 12:30 for Newark NJ on Continental. But the Continental lady booked us earlier to head out because of bad weather heading here. The NWA lady gave us meal vouchers to use at any airport. So we thrue our new bottles of water away that were full and went back through security for the second time. We then are informed our flight has been delayed a little while. We finally board and get ready for take off to Newark, NJ.

    It was a cloudy ride and a little bumpy but it was really cool to be airborne and see some familiar sights for a little while. We were over PA before I could see anything again or maybe it was Maryland I don't really know.

    We got off and took our time getting to our next gate, we had to ride a bus to get there and got off and rode a golf cart a really long ways to our next gate.

    we ate at a a Stake place we tried to use our meal vouchers but we couldn't because it was a Continental hub... so we just said we were going to use them when we returned.

    The food was okay, my throat was sore so I didn't eat much. 4 hours later we boarded our next flight going to Orange County, CA, John Wayne airport. The sun was setting and it was cloudy but it was really pretty

    For the next 6 and a half hours I slept, read and listened to my Ipod. They did serve us dinner thought! It was really good. We had a chicken sandwich, Cesar salad and some chocolate bar that were really good. Land after more land after more land for a long time got really old . We finally were close and flew right over DL I think but I'm not sure because I had a engine and a wing in my view . Finally we made it to the airport!!
