El Paso Adventure - Home Again, Home Again

I am back at home now! I did not post yesterday, because my flight got in late, and by the time I got home, all I wanted to do was sleee- watch Chuck. 

My last day in El Paso was nice. We did not do much, but that was totally fine with me. I woke up late - again, but Kayla had to go to dentists, so I was on my own for a little while. So, I played video games. She had this game on her Wii that I was obsessed with in Jr. High, so I ended up playing that for way too long. When she got back, we made giant cookies and topped them with ice cream. Soooooooo good. After that, we tried playing Risk . . . but I think it is best we don't talk about that game.

We left to catch my flight around 5:ish, and Kayla came with me into the air port. She was just going to walk me to security, but on the way there, I saw the gift shop and realized I did not buy anything on this trip! When we went downtown, nothing there was really worth buying. It was all over priced shoes, or one-dollor junk. I wanted to get something that I could only get on a trip - so where better to look than the airport? In the gift shop, they actually had some pretty cool looking Mexican style stuff (which is what I was looking for in the first place) So I bought myself a hoodie (which is way huge) and a blanket for my sisters birthday (she loved it. But, Heather, you still owe me for Disneyland)

Kayla walked me the rest of the way to security, and we said our good byes. I know I have already said it, but I am really happy I went down to visit her. Her family was way fun and I had a great time. Soon, it was time to get on the plane. The best part about the flight about to Phoenix (and this is saying something) was the flight safety part. The guy talking was being slyly sarcastic the whole time "Help yourself before anyone who may need assistance. Including children or anyone who acts like a child." "In the incident of a water landing in the desert from Texas to Phoenix, your seat can be used as a flotation device." 

Above the clouds lays a whole other world

The rest of the flight, however, was not all that great. It was a tiny plane again, and for some reason, I just felt super paranoid the whole time. The take off was pretty rickety and I thought I kept hearing the plane make strange noises, so the whole time the thought of crashing was on my mind. And I don't thing my motion sickness pill ever kicked in, because by the end of the flight, I was ready to jump out and throw up. 


We finally made it to Phoenix (with a shifty landing I might add) and I had another hour long lay over. I was feeling better at this point, and I got more time to just eat and relax before getting on my next flight. 

Unlike my first ride, the flight from Phoenix to home was the closest I will ever get to paradise on a plane. Not only did I get a window seat, but by the time we left the runway it was dark out, so the cabin was dim and peaceful. But, the most wonderful part of all - no one was sitting next to me. 

There was also free wifi, so that was cool

I got to stretch out a bit and relax. I tried falling asleep, but the hour long flight did not give me enough time. Plus, I was too busy looking out the window the whole time. I could see so many stars, and the cities just look so cool at night. 

Santa?

Here is a picture of the guy sitting across the aisle from me. 





I had an awesome time in El Paso, but it feels good to be home again!


Fair-faring, friends!
