Trip update.

I've been posting about my trip via cell phone pictures and local news reports but here's a little background. I left Seattle Thursday afternoon for my Christmas break. The plan was to meet up with Heather in Waterloo, Iowa for a few days and then head back home to West Virginia.

My first plane was delayed three hours so day one of my trip eneded with me staying in the "Ramada Mall of America" (arriving at 1AM so I didn't even get to go to the MOA.) Day two, and three hours of sleep later, I got shuttled to the airport past the Mall of America, taunting me, where after waiting on a few canceled flights I was eventually was put on a five hour bus ride to Waterloo. Later that evening I arrived in Iowa where a news camera was shoved in my sleepy and greasy face as I got off the bus. Now I'm going in to day four still luggage-less and shuffling around between the clothes I left in, an outfit I bought at Target, and a pair of Heather's Uncle Jeff's Pajama bottoms. My time here has been cut pretty short by the delays but I'm having a great time. I'm, in theory, I'm leaving on the next leg of my trip home tomorrow.

The blogging of photos from my phone was mainly out of boredom the bus but it's been fun. It sounds like I have the possibility of a lot more down time (although, I'd prefer just being stuck here if that's the case) so I'll keep you updated.
