Day 9

Saturday, July 1

Got up and played with Ethan. Melissa and I took him to the pool for awhile. Then their friends Matt and Natasha came over to watch World Cup Soccer and have Chinese food for lunch and then we just all hung out after that. It was a lot of fun. Eventually I had to pack up my stuff and get going back to the airport to catch my overnight flight back to Orlando.

I got to the airport in plenty of time. I was nervous because there really wasn’t a whole lot of time between my flight landing in Orlando and my flight out to MN, and I’d have to get my bags and then recheck them (I flew United to CA, NWA to MN). While waiting to board, they told us the flight was going to be delayed a bit. Turned out the incoming plane we were to get on, had some unruly passengers who had to be arrested. This was making me nervous because of my connection time! But we made up time in the air and weren’t too late landing. The flight was completely full, and I just couldn’t sleep or get comfortable. I’m sure the guy next to me was just wishing I would sit still!
