It's always kind of silly to have to be awake before the sun was but with a 9:45 flight it wasn't all that silly. I arrived at the Salt Lake Airport with plenty of time to spare (I *love* the E-ticket check-in- Even with checked luggage it was a breeze) Security was pretty easy and soon after a large Coke everything came into focus. I had a direct flight to Orlando on Delta that left on time and soon it hit I was *really* going. The in-flight movie was Mona Lisa Smile- Which was okay but not a favorite- Delta has the buy really expensive food on board if ya get sick of Pretzels shaped like Lighthouses but I didn't fall victim to the 8.99 sandwiches.
Landing was on time and I started to look for my friends. The *infamous* friends I went to DL in November with- They had grown jealous of my WDW trip and booked their own which happened to end with their 4:58 flight home on Delta, aka we'd be at the airport the same time as mine arrived at 4:12- I did run into them on my way out and we did a 5 minute swap of stories which I *hope* to hear the end of tomorrow at work... Let's just say I'm *very* grateful I wasn't there-
It was off to the baggage claim and my favorite (Rachel) and not so favorite were there to pick me up. If you know me you know I don't dislike many people- Well there was one that had ticked me off pretty bad- guess who had moved to Orlando the week before I got there AND had to come pick me up- Yes I was not so thrilled but hey I was in Florida- We headed to the Wal-mart on John Young (I can *never* escape Wal-mart) to get drinks and snacks then off to Downtown Disney- We decided to hit Rainforest Cafe which I thought ironic as the first meal I had in Florida in 01 was at Rainforest Cafe- The food was traditional (overpriced but decent) then I hit a few stores until we headed back to Celebration (where Rachel lived) It was a semi-early night as I *had* to be there at park open tomorrow...
