Around the world in... 30 hours

Ok, so the time frame is a little exaggerated probably, but it was about 27 hours or so with the layovers and the strikes and you'll see, I'll post as much as I can with my battery as it is before I call it quits:

11:40 AM MST 1/20/2010

Forgot the Marriott Laptop
Forgot to tell Whitney that I loved her for the millionth time. Only 999,993 I think.

Pre-flight jitters left just after security. Wish she had seen. Feels silly now, but I guess it's my process.

Should have sent them my emergency contact info sooner. Will need to do that in GA. 11:45 AM

11:54 AM Now in Colorado. 11:54 AM

12:15 PM Now passing Denver. Every minute is a milestone now. This is the farthest East I've ever been. 12:16 PM

12:44 PM MST 1/20/2010
UT, CO, KS, MI, AK, TN, AL, GA, OK (didn't think we would, but skirted the NE corner). 1:16 PM

1:01 PM We flew through Witchita, a seven nation army couldn't hold us back. 1:17 PM 1,006 Mi - getting bored, a billion miles to go. Hope the other flights have more leg room and I can sleep. Traveling has changed a lot. Love the new interactive and airport maps. Convenient. 1:26 PM Not in KS anymore.

2:24 PM 1,600 Mi later in ATL.

3:49 PM MST 5:49 PM EST 1/20/2010
Was paged a few mins ago because I hadn't boarded the plane 30 mins early. No heads up, no PA until they called me in a panic. The people in the ATL airport as well as the French operating the plane are short and pushy. Much different than my experience in SLC. Flight leaves at 6:10 PM EST. We'll be going over the Atlantic to Paris. Then I get to do this again to BLR. I'm sitting in an isle seat next to an Indian Marisha. The plane is bigger, thank goodness as it will be a nearly 8 hour flight. This should be fun and will take me into 12 AM MST on the 21st and 8-10 AM Paris time I think. 3:55 PM



(More to come later, compy needs to sleep until tomorrow. Should be able to post more then since I won't need to spend a whole hour on checking e-mail...)
