Come fly with me~ Revised

in #trip6 years ago (edited)



Today started out like any other........

No, it sure did not!

I was woken up at 5:40 am and realized I needed to get out of bed and really DO something today.

Now any that know me know I usually wake up about 10:30 am so already we were off to a rocky start.

Lucky for me I had my clothes laid out so I didn't have to decide what I wanted to wear.

I got ready or as ready as I could be, at an ungodly hour. An hour before all good people should be awake. Unless you have small children then you are screwed.

I ended up at the Airport three hours too early. Yes. Really. Don't even ask! I couldn't even check in my bag so decided to go where the Hoodlums play.

Scary Smoker Man



It was a nice enough day. This is the bench I spent 3 hours sitting on. While it was nice to have a place to smoke in the sun, a concrete bench is not the most comfortable place to rest your tired bum. I will even go so far to say, that your bum will hurt hours and hours afterward.

The funny thing was while waiting out here, I honestly think it was the first time I have not spoken to anyone as people came, smoked and went about their day. I got to thinking about this very fact and decided I either looked a bit homeless or everyone one was just as tired as I.

I then proceeded to pick up my phone and .........turn my data on.

For some people, the use of data is not a big thing but my phone is a Tracfone and I pay for everything. Minute by minute, letter, for letter. It is one of the reasons I don't use my phone overmuch.



The time finally came where I could turn in my luggage so I didn't have to drag forty pounds along with me everywhere I went.

I was getting hungry and really just wanted my bum off that concrete bench!

I wandered around and because of the time, I had missed all the overpriced airport breakfast food. Really not feeling like a pizza at 9:00 am I finally decided an overpriced almond pretzel might be good. Soda was, of course, a must.



While wandering and looking for a softer place to sit, I saw Cheese hats for sale that cracked me up so I took a photo of them to share. Yes, people in Wisconsin really do wear those things.



From using my phone, to keep from going bonkers, I ran the darn thing down to 35%. I didn't have any recharging cords on me because I never use my phone. By now I was thinking how much is 35% of the battery of this phone? I had no idea but knew I needed some charge left to be able to text Mom when I landed.

The phone got turned off and I still had time to waste, so, up I went and proceeded to find the really close secret smoking area by asking the right questions to the Airport guards.



Finally, it was time to board the plane but it had a dent in it that the pilot didn't like. Back to our seats we all went only to be called up again 4 minutes later. The Airport guy that should not have had the intercom mic, proceeded to make everyone more worried than not.

I will say I did learn from him that normal clouds weight over one million pounds. I think I could have died without that knowledge but as he was digging our graves anyway it did help a bit to know at least I would die having learned something new today.

As you can see below I finally did get to cram myself in an airplane seat right next to, not one, but three little girls that all were crying at the top of their lungs for over 3 hours I will add but that did not stop me from having a nap!



This next set of photos speak for themselves so I will be quiet while you see a bit of what I saw when I happened to wake up.





I finally made it off the plane and went right to the outside animal cage to have the first cigarette I had had in over 5 hours while listening to a plane full of small children cry through most of the flight.



Mom and her Gentleman friend, Herman found me no problem. The ride home was 1.5 hours of green and trees but at least I was closer to being able to stretch my legs out. Closer but not yet.




Once home, Mom being Mom, already had the table all set for dinner. Dinner just needed to be heated up on the stove. Herman and she, 80 and 85 respectively, had had a long tiring day also.



Dinner was wonderful, how could it not be, when my Mom had made it as she always does with love.

While sitting outside chatting after dinner I noticed the sun going down so I grabbed my phone and marveled at what I saw and tried to share it with you all. The photo really doesn't do it justice.



Herman went home. Mom went and got comfy, while I took a shower from already being too hot. After finally being able to relax I turned on my camera so you all could meet my Mom. I look a mess in the very short video but she cracked me up so I'm posting it anyway.



Now I'm off to bed after I turn the Air conditioning back up so when Mom wakes up she doesn't freeze by it only being 75 F in the house! LOLL

Thank you for coming along on my day with me! I hope you enjoyed at least some of it!



A note to @saffisara and anyone that only posts from a phone to Steemit.com, You all are better people them I. I bow to you and your great skills to be able to do what you do so well on a phone.

An hour before all good people should be awake. Unless you have small children then you are screwed.

lol! My kids sleep until 8, usually. I'm lucky. You cracked me up, as usual. And your mom seems like an amazing lady. I hardly use my phone for anything... don't even have Steemit app on there. Partly because I live in the country where I don't have cell service, so I don't have a decent plan 'cause I do pay as you go, and partly because I don't want to be looking at my phone all the time. Also, I have no patience for typing on a phone. So I'm with you there.

Glad you arrived safely, despite the guy who should't have had a mic and the three screaming children. Have so much fun with your mom! 💖

Welcome to sunny florida! Hope you enjoy your trip down here :) Don't have too much fun ;)
