"I'm leavin' on a jet plane and I don't know when I'll be back again."
As I write this first installment blog on my trip to visit the future location of the lux family, Greensburo North Carolina, I am waiting for my plane in Chicago O’Hare. I have a 3 hour layover and this waiting for my next flight thing is killin’ me. I’ve already wandered as much as a person can around this airport. I got the pleasure of enjoying the rainbow tunnel with the moving sidewalks not once but twice. I might just have to go and take a picture. My flight from Green Bay to Chicago was less than 30 minutes in the air. We spend more time on the ground waiting for a terminal than actually flying. I sat next to this fairly strange girl. I shouldn’t say girl but she was in her early twenties just a little older than me. She smelled really funny, not a bad stinky smell but a weird smell. She had her Columbia jacket on as well which gave me little to no moving space in my already tiny seat. So I get to O’Hare and wander around trying to find a sit down restaurant. It looked for awhile and finally gave up because I was sick of my heavy backpack. I ended up at a very packed chili’s. I was by myself in a very cramped air port restaurant. They didn’t have anything to offer for a variety of foods, just bugers. I waited for over 20 minutes before my waitress came over, a waiteress I must say that didn’t know very much English or was able to talk to me in very much English. I got my buger and Caesar salad, which was good enough for me. I saw some players from the UMass guys b-ball team, man were they tall. After getting weird looks at by this one married couple which I came up with their whole story in my head, I got out of there and off to my much needed starbucks for a cappacino. That brings me to where I am currently, sitting at my terminal B22 waiting for my flight to be called and boarded at 3:20. It doesn’t’ help that I would just rather get on a plane and go instead of this waiting around. I must admit though there are very interesting people here. It must be due to the fact of it being international, there is a very weird girl about 25 who has a cat with her and her friend traveling on the plane. Her friend has this crazy tattoo on her left wrist as well as a very interesting array of necklaces. She has one with something that looks like a vile filled with some sort of a liquid, hopefully not blood, but I can’t tell. She also has a crystal hanging from her neck….Maybe she’s a witch that’d be cool to say I was near a witch. But I found out who wrote one amazing comment on my blog, that person will remain anonymous unless they don’t mind. But that comment rocked the shiznit for sure. Well I’m going to go read one of my many magazines that I have and maybe take a name before I board, I’ve got 2 hours to kill might as well do something productive with it. Catch on the flip side.
