So thats what an airplane is like...pretty crappy

lol We haven't had that great of a beginning to our trip. Yesterday morning we got up at 4:30 am to leave our Uncle's place in Winnipeg and go to the airport. We got there, got our tickets, did our baggag check, made it through customs (although they spent alot of time checking our dad with the metal detector) and then sat around for half an hour. We got to board the plane at 6:50 am because we had Nicole. That was pretty sweet...until we had to wait until 10:30 to take off! lol That's right, we sat on the plane, on the runway for over 3 hours, to take a 1 hour flight. It was so retarded. After we took off I learnt that I have a horrible fear of heights, planes, and being off the ground. No, I didnt puke but I was soo scared. lol
Then we landed in Minneapolious (allison spellt that one for me) and have to run from gate C10 to C3 to get our our connecting flight because they were nice enough to hold it for us and afew other people. But then we got onto that plane and had to sit on it for another half hour before taking off. Then we got going and I had to sit through a flight that was over 3 hours long. But I just sat in the aisle seat, listened to my music and played cards with Allison to distract myself from knowing that I was in a plane. We got into Fort Lauderdale, found all of our luggage easily and called for a ride to our hotel. We went out for supper, walked around this huge city abit, bought some shoes for my dad lol and bought some drinks.
This is saturday morning and I'm gonna go eat some breakfast, get ready to go, and then our ride is coming to get us at 12:00 to take us to Miami and the cruise ship. There we'll stand around for a couple of hours before we actually get on the boat. I'm already having such an awesome time, I can't wait to get on the ship. I love you all!

(ps Krissi, I almost bought a pair of steve madden shoes [like your red ones from aldo] for only $50, but my mom wouldnt let me lol. And someone tell Carlyle that he needs to move here! I've seen like one white person since we got here and the rest are black or spanish. its a joke from the jazz band trip lol.)

you think 3 hours is bad?

try 8 hours, a 12 hour layover in freezing germany and then another 10 hours on a plane.

thats torture!

but then you're in africa and all is happy. :)

enjoy your trip.

That sucks having to sit on the runway waiting to take off. Musta been craptacular weather somewhere cuz 3 hours would be a long time to wait for clearance.

So you'll wanna go flying with me when you get home? There's no aisle seat in the planes I fly lol!

Oh and it's Minneapolis :P
