So it's now 2:55 am PST. I just left the
Portland Airport with assistance from my russian driver Andrey. I guess $250 isn't a bad price to have someone drive me in the middle of the night for 2.5 hours. I'm headed down to Springfield, OR.
So today started off just great! I woke up at my sister-in-law's house, with my wife passed out on the couch. Not only did I wake up to smiling faces, loving family members, and what might be the comfiest recliner known to man, but they had gotten McDonald's!
From there, we decided to play a few holes of Wii Golf (
Wii Sports). I highly recommend Wii Golf; it's not as complicated as super swing golf, and the multi player uses your Mii instead of some character which might have come from Final Fantasy.
From there, my wife decided I needed to see Mount Trashmore. We brought in a kite from Atlanta, which we bought cheap. It's a boat. We had our doubts as to whether it would fly or not. We weren't able to get it up in the stratosphere, but it did manage to hover about 6-7 feet off the ground for a good bit. The rest of the time was spent running around with it, so it would take off. (Quite amusing for them, frustrating for the one doing the running)
I love my beautiful wife. She got me on the plane to Portland and made sure we got to spend as much time as possible together. For that, I am truely grateful. She made my first trip as a husband start on a good note.
But as fate would have it, it would continue to be a day of firsts, and not all of them as wonderful.
My flight arrived in Atlanta, and all was well. This was my first layover in Atlanta. It was my First time being bumped to first class on a west coast trip.
It was also the first time I've had to switch planes due to malfunctions, get a cab (towncar) from the airport to the hotel, and first time I've only gotten 2-3 hours of sleep before I had to be on site.
I miss her already. She really knows how to take care of me, and I am truely grateful!
