About a week ago my Plane touched down from a long vacation on the humid East Coast. Our flight had been delayed in Philladelphia which made us miss our connecting flight to Los Angeles from Atlanta.
We waited to board the plane in Philly for three hours before we were able to take off. When we arrived in Atlanta it was 11:00pm eastern time which is 8:00pm pacific. We thought we were going to have to sleep in the airport but Delta, our airline, set us up for a hotel outside of the airport.
We were up until 1:00am eastern time. The alarm sounded at 5:30 am. Everyone was half asleep and grumpy. The shuttle picked us up at 6:00am. When we got to the airport we had to stand in long lines because people were flying out for the 4th of July. Finally after going through baggage check we made it to our gate.
After a five hour flight with rough turbulance we arrived in LA. We grabbed our bags, picked up the car and headed home. During the 2 hour car ride home to Bakersfield almost everyone fell asleep.. As soon as we got home we had to repack for our next vacation destination. This time no plane just a 2 hour drive to the beach.
We spent the 4th of July over at Pismo. We've been home for a week now and it's nice not to have to dig my clothes out of a suitcase...
I'll add more specifics about my vacation to the east coast in future posts. I've got some interesting things to report, we visited New York City, Lancaster, Pennsylvania (Amish Country), and Hershey's amusement park in Hershey, PA.
For now, I'll sign off - I just wanted to give a quick update on my current status.
