North Carolina Trip: Day 1 - Lots of Flying

My adventure started bright and early on Tuesday morning.  Tony took me to the airport and dropped me off.  I checked in and then found my gate.  I wasn't sure how long it would take me to get through security, but it was fast.  Then I got to see the new airport.  It is pretty nice and really long.  I had lots of extra time, so I walked around the new airport before getting a breakfast sandwich to take with me.  

I loaded my plane and found my seat.  I had the whole row to myself.  We then had to get our plane deiced before we could leave.  We had to wait a long time before we could take off.  But we did finally take off and the flight went very well.  I watched some movies and had some snacks, good times.

Wendy's flight left Sacramento late so she knew she wouldn't make her connecting flight in Atlanta.  So, I rushed to my connecting gate in Atlanta to see if they could also put me on the next flight so that Wendy and I could layover together.  He was able to put me on the next flight, so I just had to wait a little while for Wendy to come in.  

Wendy's flight came in and we went and got some dinner.  It was decent food, but the company was even better.  After we ate, we went to our gate and got on our next flight to Norfolk.  Wendy was in business class, but I was in economy.  I did get a seat by the emergency exit, so I had lots of extra leg room.  Wendy ended up coming back with me after takeoff because she was seated next to a stranger.  I had the row to myself again, so I had plenty of room.

After a quick flight we got into Norfolk, Virginia.  We got our bags and our rental car and then got us some dinner at a Mexican restaurant by Wendy's old house in Chesapeake. 

Then we headed to the house in the Outer banks, North Carolina.  It was about an hour and a half from Chesapeake.  We got to the house in Corolla, and it was beautiful.  We got our stuff in our rooms and went to bed for the night.  It was a long day.
