And so it begins!! Though we have all been awake since 3 am, we are feeling grrreat! Nothing an iced coffee and some Parmesan goldfish can't fix. Sleep deprived, Eryn unfortunately sat in the wrong terminal for roughly 15 minutes before realizing she was sitting alone, but she finally found us and we departed LAX. Around 7 AM, the San Diego crew said goodbye to the crew traveling to San Francisco. The San Diego crew chilled in the airport for 30 minutes and boarded the plane. Our flight went off without a hitch. The entire cabin was silent, expect for the 13 students traveling to San Diego. Many students, curled up in their sweatshirts, took a quick 25 minute snooze. Caroline had to be shaken awake as she hid her face inside a puffy vest. Getting off the plane was quite a struggle. Maddie's large Jansport would not budge from the overhead bin. When reflecting on the flight, Grace says "This weird man sitting next to me whipped out raw ginger root and began to gnaw on it." Rachel left her water bottle on the plane and had to run back to the gate with Olivia. Rachel and Olivia dealt with an extremely rude man working for American Airlines (they could not catch his name but are hoping to fire him). Overall, we have all safely landed in San Diego and San Francisco. Lydia, Kelly and Christie scarfed down burgers during the four hour lay over. Eryn, Kelsey, Brenna, Grace, and Aron had loads of fun over multiple "uno" games.
