Back to school… back to school… got to show daddy I’m not a fool. Now that Thanksgiving is over (but honestly, wasn’t it just bypassed by Christmas?) it’s time for classes to resume. I flew back to Durham out of Orlando today, and thankfully, the airport wasn’t that crowded this morning at 8:45am. I was actually dreading the whole experience due to the overcrowded nature of traveling during Thanksgiving or the Holidays in general, but there must have been a bomb scare or something because the airport just wasn’t that busy. Actually, probably due to my celebrity status, the airport decided to increase security during those times, and I experienced that increased security level as smaller crowds at the airport. Yeah, that’s probably it.
This is about what my plane looked like.
To make my travels even more pleasant, I was fortunate enough to get an exit row! That’s just what I needed. It made sleeping the entire flight as pleasant as it possibly could have been given that I was on a plane the size of a smurf. I actually had somewhere to put my backpack with my camera gear and laptop while still maintaining some leg room; the overhead compartment wasn’t even an option since, like the plane, it was miniaturized. My luck didn’t end there either. I’m one of those people whose luggage is always the last to make it onto the conveyor belt, and I’m convinced that’s because the men unloading the plane like to snuggle with it or something. There’s really no other explanation. Today, however, my bag was one of the first one’s onto the belt so I didn’t have to sit, wait, and fight with other passengers vying for luggage! Awesome!
Now I’m back in my room and awake after crashing from a long night and morning of travel. Now I’ve just got to get ready for class tomorrow, and while it’s sad to see the Holiday come to an end, I an look forward to Christmas break being right around the corner. I just have to get through exams first.
Ha ha ha! My plane out was much smaller than your plane! And it doesn’t even have jet engines… it uses PROPELLERS! This plane was S-M-A-L-L. So when it comes to bragging over size… mine is much smaller… tiny… petite… a mere speck. Mine is so small that…
Um. Wait a second. This is not turning out at all as I had thought.
Haha, I know just the kind of plane you’re talking about. It’s practically a bubble gum wrapper with wings! Those were the only planes Bahamas Air had when flying to… well, the Bahamas. Those Bahemian ones are the smallest things I’ve ever seen (I really do mean S-M-A-L-L this time), and they’re just plain old! They’ve seen more action than a village bicycle and I just wonder how they even manage to get the thing up in the air!
Hmmm…. I don’t think this turned out quite right either. (NOTE: Any Bahemians reading this, I didn’t mean it. I really didn’t.)
