On the road again, I'm on the road again...
My travel schedule has officially started up and I am in full swing. I just finished a trip to Dallas. I'll be in Abilene next week and then back to Lexington for a week. This trip to Dallas was very good. I met with some great alumni of the University as well as I got to see some friends in the evening.
However, my trip did not start out the greatest. I had to get up at 4:15 a.m. on Tuesday morning to make my 6:50 a.m. flight. There are no mid-morning flights to DFW from LEX. There is 6:50 a.m. or 1:00 p.m., so there you have it...I guess better get use to getting up at 4:15 a.m. huh? Once I am up and showered I am good to go, although I crashed pretty early on Tuesday night.
So I got to the airport and was going through security when I took my shoes off and went down to pick them up and realized they were BROWN!! I was wearing black pants and a hound’s-tooth sweater...yikes!! I have two pair of the same shoes, one brown and one black. You see what happened is I didn’t want to wake Aaron up so I spent most of my time getting ready in the dark, so it is easy to see how it happened. Luckily I had a pair of zebra flats with me. The hound’s-tooth and zebra prints probably looked horrible together, but I guess it's better than brown shoes with a black outfit :)
When I got to Dallas I stood off to the side of the jet bridge to pick up my suitcase which I gate checked in Lexington. I grab my bag and took off up the jet bridge when I'm thinking to myself, "Man, my suitcase sure is hard to pull!" About that time I hear a man behind me saying, "Miss, Miss, you lost your wheel." Sure enough one of my wheels fell off of my suitcase. I am quite certain that I looked ridiculous trying to balance my suitcase on the other 3 wheels and roll it through the airport. I made a quick trip to TJ Maxx to get a new suitcase and I was off again.
Like I said I did not have the best start to my trip to the Big D, but after I got going it ended up being a very successful trip.
Tune in next week as my life on the road takes me to Abilene!
