FRIDAY, NOV. 9th 2012
Woke up around 4am to be on the road by 4:30am. Traffic was a lot nicer and smoother than I had expected as was the airport. When we got out of security and looked at the clock, it was only 6:15am... We left way too early as our flight was to leave at 9am. LAX is one of those places that is notorious to be unpleasant and busy. It wasn't all that bad this morning granted I dont remember any smiling faces but … we were at the airport at 6 in the morning. So, after my other stands in what was a group instead of a normal line at mc donalds we see noone is occuping their very small little sitting area and at the back theres one table pretty secluded so we chose to sit there for a little while before moving on to go find our gate for the first flight of our adventure.While sitting at our gate...
Our gate was un eventful, I did notice the masses of “important” people aka people in suits and with briefcases. Also for some reason I remember a woman with a laptop eating a whole cucumber... I dont think ive ever seen anyone just bite and dig in to a cucumber before...lol Our first flight was LAX to Charlotte, NC. A gorgeous and nice airport btw... it must have been cold outside because there were a lot of beanies being worn...or maybe its a style thing idk but it was enough for me to notice, also in this airport that I wasn't expecting was the “restroom attendants.” The nice attendant in the restroom I utilized was very cheerful and singing about how she hopes all of the people that come through her restroom have a good flight and a good day. This actually made me happy someone who is in charge of the place people defecate and urinate among other disturbing things that happen can be that happy with just being alive...there was a short wait still and I was hungry again as it was 5pm so we got a burger and some fries which were pretty good, nothing too exciting and we only had to pay one arm and three toes for it.. Our next flight was Charlotte to ft. lauderdale. We came into ft. lauderdale alittle before 8pm. Looking out the window it looks like a mini LA just flat... so here we are the place we were dreading because of a 12 hour layover... dun dun dun.... so we made our way towards the door of this terminal but before we exited we asked a security guard which terminal was carribean airlines and in which direction after he pointed us towards the way we were outside in nice air it wasnt cold it was nice... so we walk over to find our spot for the night. I watch people for a while as people watching is very interesting especially in airports “all walks of life” are there and to me its intriguing. This man who I think might have either been possessed or legitimately crazy comes with all his stuff and lays down and falls asleep right in front of a door that says do not block.
While he slept he would talk in a different dialect of Spanish than I'm used to and it's pretty creepy. So I decide to move to the other side of the room, I needed to plug in my phone anyway. My other has been amazing hes just the best thing in the world dealing with me being hungry having to go to the restroom every 30 seconds...lol sigh I love him a lot! This night never really ends as I dont sleep but I'll cut this day here for labeling purposes.
