My travels went very smooth thanks to my family and also friends that helped with packing or just being around for the final "see ya laters". I was early for the shuttle thanks to my overly anxious sister Robin (or very loving, either one). The shuttle was a smooth trip to Rochester for a quick lay over and then off to MSP we went. Once there, I was left at the airport by the bunch of strangers I just met on the shuttle and there I stood...alone with 2 bags to check and my 2 carry ons. I figured "no problem, I got this!" and I did. Checking in for the flight and checking my bags was super fast and painless. Little did I know the feeling that was about to over take me as I am walking away from the baggage area, across the skywalk, towards security. It then occurred to me, I am really doing this and I am really leaving a lot of important people in my life behind. I was ok after a brief readjustment of thinking, my car may not be there when I return but the people that matter the most in my life and are important to me, they will be in touch and reachable at anytime I need them.
I breezed through security, walked a mile to my gate (with a dead cell phone and a panicking sister), plugged in phone to check in before I boarded, found my seat...and remember very little after that as I was cashed in. I slept through the flight over the lower 48 states but miraculously I woke up just in time to see mountains, glaciers, and beautiful blue sky's.
Until next time
