This post is going to be very long. I have about three or four days worth of information and stories to include in it. The reason being that we were having issues getting connected to the Internet in our dorms and its finally been resolved. I've been waiting to blog because I wanted to upload photos as I talked about stuff, so here we go.

Mom and Dad took me to the airport on Sunday. It was a relatively short trip. Stopped at Cracker Barrel for a nice breakfast. We got to the airport early and waited around for awhile. My friend Christine, who is also on the trip, got there early as well and so we sat together and waited.

Security and baggage checking was a lot easier and quicker than I expected. Actually, it took me longer to wait and get my baggage checked than it did to go through security. I've never flown before and so had no idea really what to expect but everything went smoothly so no worries there.

Our first flight, from Dayton, Ohio to Atlanta, Georgia, was my first ever. The only thing I don't really like about flying is the occasional weightless feeling one gets as the plane makes its ascent. Unpleasant but not unbearable.

Then we touched down in Atlanta where it was a little rainy. Made it through the Atlanta airport (had to take the shuttle/train. I'm not sure the official name of it). Then we got to our gate and had about 2 hours to unwind, get some food, or whatever. I bought a UK to US adapter there that is currently allowing my laptop to charge without any problems. Love it.




This is the plane we took from Atlanta to Manchester, England. It was pretty big, seven seats to a row. I got a window seat for this one. The other plane, which I don't have a picture for, was rather small. It held, I don't know how many few people with four seats to a row. For that one, I didn't get a window but I was close enough.



This is just a picture of the food place I had a slice from in Atlanta. It wasn't bad. Kind of like Sbarro's.



Here's an evening picture of the sky and wing out my window on my second flight. Speaking of, our second flight was about 7.5 hours long but not too bad. I didn't sleep at all until I got here. This past night was the only one I slept all the way through. Still tired though. I was up last night with a couple friends making plans for our trip this weekend which I'll get to in a bit.
