My dad and I flew into Orlando yesterday after a long day of travelling. We got to the Calgary airport at 4:00am to fly to Dallas-Fort Worth at 6:00am. Check in was a bit cray with being sent to the counter and no one helping us. Then customs went very smoothly but did take a bit of time as i knew it would. I was very stressed when our plane boarding time was 5 minutes away when we just got through US customs and we were in line for security which started at the end of the hallway right where you drop off your checked luggage (if you have ever been to the Calgary airport i hope you know where I'm talking, it was a VERY long line) After security we ran to our gate which isn't actually to far from security thankfully. Dad and I boarded the plane with about 5 other people but the people who were boarding with us i watched get rushed through security... but dad and I stood in line. Because we were short on time i did not get to eat :( We then spent 6 hours in the Dallas-Fort worth Airport finding something to eat at TGI Fridays and sleeping on the 'comfy' airport floor. Both flights were very good and rather smooth. I sat in between a couple on the first flight and beside a very nice lady and her daughter on the second flight. The daughter was so cute and the mom was from Louisiana so had a nice accent, they live 10 minutes from Disney World. I watched movies and slept on both planes, not a bad travel day, it just flew by lol
It finally hit me at the airport that i would be gone for a while. Had to say good bye to my mom, my brother and my boyfriend :( It was rather hard, as i knew it was going to be but i made it through shed a lot of tears and i walked away and watched them walk away. I miss them all so much already but i know i will see them again. The lady on the first flight actually turned to me and asked if i didn't like flying as i just sat there with tears streaming down my cheeks. I explained to her no it is just hard to say good bye. She talked to me for a bit and reassured me that the year will fly by with the new experience i am going to have it will all be worth it.
Below are a few pictures I took today.
Where i ate lunch in the Dallas- Fort Worth airport, Such yummy food and I didn't feel bad eating here on a Saturday as they reassured me "in here, its always Friday".
I had a Jack Daniel's Chicken Sandwich!
Walking through the Orlando airport I saw this. I remember it from last time I went to Orlando to!
