Ok, with these hints I can play.I worked at a video store during that time period. Is it Armageddon?
Oh boy, I don't like the sound of "atleast we were ON the plane." There have been times when we've boarded the plane and had to sit there for a while. I hope that didn't happen to you!
You guys took a lot of pictures at the airport...ever since our flight was cancelled one trip I refuse to take pictures at the airport! LOL.
OK, now my guesses for the games:
Is the picture from the Backlot tour? (I typed it in white). I sort of cheated though since I googled it and found a very similar picture.
Is the character Flick?
I didn't know they have props from it at HS -- cannot wait to go look when we are there in a few weeks! I do so love a nice love story!
Armageddon is one of my all time favorite movies! I just watched it again a few days ago
Last summer our flight was delayed on the way down for several hours -- I didn't really think much of it (hazard of summer travel -- thunder storms etc.) I was just grateful my son was rolling with it without any problems (change in schedule/plans can sometimes cause us MAJOR issues) and out of the blue they announced everyone was getting a 100 dollar SW voucher for the inconvenience! Very cool surprise, and I have to say worth the wait!
Anyway -- here is hoping that the rest of the journey down was smooth, the honeymoon was fabulous and that you are continuing to enjoy each others company everyday
All caught up!
Yay! You're plane arrived!
I want to get in on this game! Can't wait to play along & read more!
That's too bad that you're flight was delayed...not a great start to any vacation, but thankfully they got it resolved soon.
Ewww about the eggshell in the sandwich...not the most appetizing concept.
I love your new luggage, and I think it's awesome that you waited till your disneymoon to start using it.
Can't wait for more
)
). Heck, when my Mom made us our lunches, she would take twin wrapped Little Debbie cakes and separate them so my brother and I both had one. It's funny now, like when we go to WDW or Busch Gardens and I buy a treat and I'm so excited that it's all mine and I don't have to share . 
Solo Pilot Blues
The title of this update isn't really related to what happened on our travel day. The song sung by Goofy is on the 4 Parks, 1 World CD, and I think it's so odd to be there among all the other park music, haha. Don't mind it!
We checked in and printed out new boarding passes. Howard handled all of that, so I'm glad I didn't have to worry about travel documents on top of everything else I had to take care of. Plus, I didn't want to dwell on the fact that we were going on a HAIR-PAIN! We then went to the line for our baggage to be checked, and we were actually told to go somewhere else to wait. It ended up being an awesome thing because the security checkpoint at the other end wasn't as crowded. I didn't like that there was a woman coughing behind us though. We kept moving up, and she'd inch her way even closer to us. I was so paranoid that we'd get sick! I put the luggage between us, but she was like, insistent on getting as close to us as possible! Haha, um, sorry lady, we don't mean to be grossed out by you, but seriously, step back please!
The security guy who looked at our boarding passes and IDs knew we were on our honeymoon. He said, "I can tell by the look on your faces, especially his face!" Haha, was it obvious that we were just thrilled? I guess most of the people around us leaving from Newark were business people.
When we put our luggage through the scanner, we actually had to put it back through again. I got nervous then as well thinking that there was something in there that shouldn't be there and that we'd have to throw it away (or that we'd be kept from going on our honeymoon ... melodramatic much?). But thankfully, everything was all set, and we popped our shoes on and determined that it was time to get some food! I was hungry and ready to eat especially since we were all checked in.
There were actually a lot of options, but we chose McDonald's. I don't remember the last time I had McD's, and I was definitely in a mood for it! I had a Sausage Egg McMuffin and a hashbrown. Recently, Howard and I bought a ton of English muffins, so I think it's about time I made my own McMuffins (well, minus the Mc) at home! We also have plenty of napkins at home since we only got 3 that morning, haha.
Sorry, I look a little drugged in this photo, haha, but I had to comment that it's my first McD's breakfast (well, first McD's entirely) married! This picture was taken BEFORE I fond an eggshell in my "sammich."
I think Howard had a McGriddle. I remember the first time I had one of those. I could tell it was a million calories, but gosh, it was delicious. Haha, I should make that myself too because pancakes can probably make good "sandwich bread" since waffles do according to Sleepy Hollow at MK!
Howard ordered an OJ, and I ordered hot tea just because I wanted something to help calm my stomach. We were sitting next to a restaurant that wasn't open yet, but I was highly entertained by the decorative sign at the front.
I was very entertained by the lid on my cup of tea. On Sundays, I used to get a cup of "naicha" before I became lactose intolerant (translated to milk tea" from the Chinese bakery near our church). I loved snapping the lip of the lid back into the top. I don't know why I'm so entertained by them, but I really am! The McD's one was like, one of the more awesome ones.
With our bellies full of greasy goodness, we got up to move towards our gate! Yay, it was almost time to go! No ... wait ... why do those little TVs with flight times indicate that our flight is DELAYED?!? Oh no!!! I tweeted:
Flight was delayed so instead of leaving at 7:54, we are hoping to leave at 9:45. Though it's an inconvenience, we'd much rather be safe!
I really would much rather be safe. It ended up that the pilot wasn't there yet. He was still in Washington, DC, so there was no way we'd be leaving any time soon. I was half okay with it because it was foggy out, and I was hoping it'd burn off as time passed, but I was also half un-okay (yes, I make up words, don't you?) with it because I just wanted to get on the plane and get it over with! The anticipation is sometimes worse! We sat at a gate across from ours because ours was filled to the brim with people. We thought we'd be able to go online, but there was a cost involved, so we nixed that idea. I sat and started writing some thoughts down about the wedding instead.
Oh airport, I'll be seeing you for a while!
This was actually the first time that I was on Howard's laptop. We both had netbooks, but apparently he traded it in to get a laptop instead. It was fun having a new "toy" to play with while waiting. Howard also had a new toy too. He bought a new lens for his DSLR, so he was taking a lot of pictures to test out settings and such.
He was admiring my cup of tea that I still had not finished.
I was probably tweeting at this point! Here are the other things I tweeted while we were waiting and trying to kill time.
Why did a guy just say there's a hurricane in PR that could affect the weather in Orl? Good thing Disney controls the weather.
Howard decided to go for a walk and snap some pictures. I decided to tweet some more because it was my only internet access.
One of my tweets was "NO DICE!" There was a mom with her parents and 2 kids who were wearing shirts that made me think, "Are they DISers?!?" Haha, I know it's easy to buy any of those shirts on Etsy or just make them yourself, but I know that's my immediate thought! Anyway, the mom was looking around for one of the plugs to charge her phone, but they were all being used. Later when someone left, I tapped her on the shoulder to tell her it was available. She also found a phone there and returned it to someone at the gate, and then the man came back and gratefully retrieved it when he found out the lady had handed it in. Of course, what I'm describing to you has nothing to do with the "No dice" thing, haha. That just happened to be her phrase. When things didn't work out (like the pilot not being there and the fact that we weren't leaving any time soon), she would say, "No dice!" Howard and I started using that at times during our honeymoon!
I was happy that at least there was a lot of space. I remember waiting in a super small airport in the past, and I was going crazy! It was nice that there were options for food too.
Are we still delayed? Yes, we are.
Is that our plane? Um, I don't know. Howard took it. Haha.
At one point, the mom was asking her kids if they wanted a smoothie. I thought that was funny because in my family growing up (and Howard's), we would never been asked that question because it would've meant spending money! Haha. And we wouldn't have even thought to ask either! I guess it's really different growing up in Chinese households. She also said something else that was funny. Her kids kept looking out the window at the plane, so she said, "I want to take a picture with my two mices ... my two meese."
Gotta love the moving sidewalks!
Still have time to wait.
We joked about this store because it looked so much like Duffy! We started calling this store "Duh-free" like Duffy, and then trying to figure out if it was "Doo-free." We apparently had a TON of time on our hands!
Wonder if this place really did have GR8 FOOD.
The place sure looked cute with the 50s diner vibe! I can imagine Guy Fieri coming here to say, "I'm rollin' up ..." Howard and I say that line rather often too because we're fans of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives!
Once Howard returned, I went to the bathroom. I had to wait a bit because there were a lot of moms with their children, but only a few stalls were being used at the time. I tweeted when I got back:
I guess a lot of women need to poop in airports because there was quite a line!
HF and I are staring men down and wondering, "Are you the pilot?"
This would have been a good time to read through The Hunger Games or all of Harry Potter.
I love looking over to see a ring on my husband's finger! (his 3rd finger)
