today was my last day in kansas. so, yesterday i tried to see as many people as i could before i left. i failed majorly and only got to see brian and brent. however, i did see andrew, michael & sophie the day before, and shawn this morning. so that worked out, i guess. it's not like i wont be back in three months or anything.
and so this afternoon i began my journey to my new home for the next three months. i left my house at approximately 3:07 (seven minutes after my mom wished we had left) and we headed to kci. i checked my bags in at skycap (one bag was 3 pounds over the weight limit and the guy didnt even charge us extra like he was supposed to!), bought some reading material (us weekly, in style, and peoples magazines), and got through security (even with the new tsa machines).
i left kansas city at 5 and got to denver an hour and a half later. my flight was delayed like 45 minutes so i had time to get dinner (nasty mcdonalds) and sit for a little bit before i had to get on my next plane. while i was waiting a family of 6 (with 4 little girls) sat in the seats directly across from me. they had a baby, dressed in a pink onesie who happened to fall asleep on a ladybug pillow, with her thumb in her mouth. i wanted to steal her, if that's not creepy and weird, which it probably is.
i arrived in the land of utes, snow, and mormons at 930ish? and i've been here ever since. i'm bored out of mind. so far i've talked to ethan, talked to betsy, got a smartecarte thing for my absurd quantity of luggage, bought halls coughdrops, dayquil, and smart water, called tmobile to try to fix my phone, and am currently blogging and listening to friendly fire, which shawn burned me for christmas. its completely excellent.
however, i'm exhausted. totally and absolutely. i didn't get much sleep last night (which was a dumb decision) and have to be up until 4 when i meet my group to check-in. can i please tell you about my itinerary for tomorrow? here we go.
i leave slc at 605pm and go to dallas
from dallas i go to miami
i leave miami and arrive in quito at 1025pm
i'm sorry if i dont enjoy spending 16 hours traveling in one day. i also don't enjoy doing that on no sleep and being sick. i have a feeling that tomorrow will be a very verrrry unpleasant day. but i absolutely cannot wait. because the fact that this time tomorrow, i will be in ecuador, excites the hell out of me.
