And we're off!

It was an uneventful, yet entertaining flight from State College. Although kind and helpful, I think our flight attendant would be better off at an open mic night. We've officially claimed squatter's rights close to power outlets in the Philly airport. The remainder of our five hour layover will consist of watching movies and trying not to fall asleep. Usual airport rituals already checked off the list: eat expensive, low quality airport food, people watch, scramble to charge as many electronic devices as possible, and an overall fight with technology (which lasted a good three hours). Looking forward to our flight and some sleep!

A big thanks to my sister for taking us to the airport and taking care of Glorydog while we're away. Even though it was a rainy day, she enjoyed the short ride to the airport to wish us a fun trip. I'm sure she'll have plenty of fun playing with Nike!


For those who were wondering...Packing finally concluded at 10:12 this morning, one of my books for class being the last item stowed. Of course that wasn't packed until a frantic and fruitless trip to work. Here's the final tally: one camera bag, one backpack, two carry-ons, and yes - one checked bag (and eight pairs of shoes for me)!
