Wednesday at 315 came wayyyy too fast. Sleep was lacking and therefore I made some foolish mistakes.
1. I drove to the wrong park and ride
2. I told the park and ride people I was flying out of Delta.... not the case... o well.
So after grabbing coffee after security (which by the way I was the only one there but they had 5 people working there).
I found my seat to wait for the flight to come in. I got on the flight just fine and off to CLT I went. I ended up not sleeping that leg of the trip because I had chatty Kathy next to me. After getting off at CLT, I walked to the other departure location and boarded there for PHX. This trip, I slept the WHOLE way there. I was not even awake when they were serving drinks and nuts. I did wake up at about halfway through, found my larabar, ate half and slept the rest of the way. I tell you, travel pillows are the BEST!
I got off that plane as fast as I could after landing, put in a call to Alex and by the time I got down to baggage claim, she was there to get me. I was so excited to see her and Rosalie. We put my bags in the car and just started chatting away. Rosalie gave me the stink eye but I knew I had that coming.
Alex showed me around her place, and around the area.
During the trip we did the following things.... couponed, pool time, grocery store, food joints including a mexican place which was awesome and a sub place, more pool time, and scenic views.
We also had an abundance of ice cream. :)
By day one, I was going to take a nap after watching Rosalie but ended up sleeping straight through dinner and everything. I fell asleep with my contacts in, no face washed, my day clothes on, no teeth brushed. I was a hot mess the next morning. I woke up at 1 something and felt so bad that I had slept through dinner and everything. Alex said that I looked like I needed the sleep.
Thursday was filled with waking up early to go hike a mountain. Yes we are crazy like that and hike mountains in 90+ degree heat. Alex had Rosalie on her back. I carried all the essentials. Sunscreen, camera, keys, money, etc. After climbing, we walked around ASU and grabbed ice cream. That evening, I had Rosalie again while Alex went to work for just a bit. We ate in for dinner and I got some really cute video and pics of Rosalie before she got tired. We all went to bed early that night and Alex slept in the next day. I got up super early on Friday (5am their time) and checked emails and then at around 6 Rosalie and Ron were up I got some coffee and we all hung out. Rosalie decided that she wanted to try my banana and was such a big girl that she ate half of it. She gave me the stink eye when I went to get a bite of it while she was eating it. Her and I hung out after Ron went to work.
When Alex got up, we got settled and went to the pool, had some really good girl time, and some tears. Friday was filled with tears. Its hard to be away from your best friend! We made one last trip to the store before my flight on Friday and I got a cantalope to take home. (19c a lb. Yes please!)
I of course got stopped at security when I was going through, they checked my bag and everything.
Anyways... at the airport, I bawled my eyes out.. both of us did. Im sure all the people in the airport thought I was crazy with my face a hot mess. I found my flight and yes again... there was no one at security so it was a total breeze. The flight to ATL was easy but when I got to the airport there, the plane was late, they changed where we were supposed to board, I was starving (it was almost 11pm est). I got out my larabar, banana, and apple and had myself a picnic at the loading gate. I got in RDU at around 1230 and got to Daniel's gmas at around 1245.
