Our initial flight got delayed yesterday, sad face. We only had a 35 minute connection time, and the plane was gonna be 30 minutes late getting in, so...ruh roh. But they backed us up on a flight to Asheville in the morning (our actual flight was into Charlotte) and gave us a list of hotels in Newark and highlighted the ones with the best rates, so...whatev.
We ended up getting into Charlotte on time, though, and our gate was right across from the gate we landed at, so...yay. And it was right next to a Borders! Which...airport shopping, expensive, but again, whatev. Mom bought me a book about Pirates, ooooo.
Second flight kinda sucked. Got stuck on the runway for an hour, stewardess was rude, and I was too tired to read but too awake to sleep (apparently). Enh. Plus, Continental Express was NOT made for two people the size of me and Mom to be sitting together. Or anywhere, really - TINY fucking seats. I think it's funny now, but at the time, the fact that if I wanted my tray to rest flat I had to suck in and maneuver it between two rolls was NOT amusing.
Anyway. We got to Charlotte on time, went to Waffle House, came back, slept. I'm about to go get breakfast, and we're leaving as soon as Mom's done getting ready.
And then Asheville. Yay.
