A few thoughts from Philadelphia International

We're sitting in Philadelphia International with a flight delayed an hour (so far), and I figured I'd share a few thoughts on what's going through my head nowadays:
  • I really want to go to Tuscany, Italy. Or Napa Valley. It needs to happen.
  • Philly Int'l is the most unorganized airport I think I've ever been in, and I've even flown into and out of African airports. At least people there smile at you. "City of Brotherly Love"? I don't think so.
  • Funny how you can feel out of place at a family reunion. Don't get me wrong, it was a blast. But it's difficult to socialize when the only cousins close to your age don't seem to give you the time of day. I'm ready to get back to Atlanta now.
  • I have a Florida Gator fan in my family! And he didn't even go there. And he probably will never go there. He's going to a community college near Panama City. Oh well.
  • My sunburn is successfully peeling its way off my body.
  • I finally got a linen shirt yesterday -- we were all looking for them in Africa, but nobody seemed to be selling them. It's incredibly comfortable, and I feel so relaxed and laid-back.
  • There was a really hot girl in line at security right behind my mom, but we all got split up for a minute and she was gone. Unfortunate. She was the prettiest girl I've seen in this city...man, I miss Athens.
And that's all for now. I'm gonna go enjoy the free wireless here.

We're here!

The airport knew we were coming! Some interesting things to write about the trip so far, so look for an update soon! It's beautiful here!

Soldiers on vacation

A whole company of soldiers sitting at the gate to leave for St. Croix for a well-deserved vacation I guess. You're all much appreciated. Go chill and unwind. Y'all deserve every bit of it.

The journey begins

Out of bed at 6:45...on the road by 7:45...airport by 9:15 after a Chick Fil A stop. Thanks again for driving, Adam!

I've been to the Atlanta Airport many times, but I've never noticed the dinosaur skeleton at Terminal South. So I took a picture of it. A little ironic that we have something so ancient juxtaposed against the modernity of the airport...a little non sequitur I guess. More to come soon! Game on, San Diego.
