Sweet Home Chicago

As Traci mentioned, my travels for this trip did not start well. My flight got delayed out of Ithaca for no reason that was obvious to me so I missed my flight in Newark. The fun part is that Bri (one of my students) was on the flight with me we had some quality chatting time. Once I got to Newark, I developed an immediate hatred for the airport because in the Continental terminal, they refuse to mention any other airline. It took me 20 minutes just to figure out which terminal I had to go to find my new flight (I got switched from Continental to United). Once I found the right terminal (and found the shuttle that would take me to said terminal), I learned I had to leave security to go to the ticket counter. After that, there wasn't much drama. There were only about 30 people on our giant plane, so that was pretty lovely. 16 hours after leaving O'Hare, I will be back there to fly out again. Ahhh!

I haven't seen my sisters since I got here, but I hear they are excited (and have packed). My dad, proving that we are related, has yet to pack. I am assuming he will get it done sometime before we leave, but I have my doubts.

That's all for now! The next post will probably be from Sydney!
