March 18, 2009 Day 1: Getting There


This day consisted of living in airports and attempting to sleep on planes. Neither of which are particularly pleasurable.


Our day began in Atlanta, Georgia. We dropped the dog off at "Camp Woof" (which, by the way, if you ever need extended boarding in the Atlanta metro area, go here) Swung by and got a one-way rental car and headed to what I consider the most beautiful airport in the entire world, Birmingham-Shuttlesworth "International" Airport in Birmingham, Alabama. I'm not really sure what constitutes an airport being "international", but I think BHM could promptly benefit from an Olive Garden, a Chili's, a Bennigan's and a Panda Express to add to its international flare.
Ooo goodie! A regional jet!
Our mini-flight to another one of my favorite places, George Bush Intercontinental Airport, was delayed by about 4 hours. We would completely miss our connecting flight to Seattle and risked staying the night in Houston, Texas. Luckily we made it on the last flight from IAH-SEA and arrived without incident.

Lizzie picked us up from the airport and we spent the night at her apartment in Bothell. With her cat.

I'm a nightmare.

TAKE ME TO DAY 2!
