Pilgrim Blog: Day 1

Kevin J:
Today I woke up in one city and ended in another across the country. The arrival to the airport brought excitement for the trip and eagerness to go to sleep. We spent 6 hours in airports waiting and 6 hours in airplanes flying. During this time we got closer as a group. Charlotte pulled out the Apples to Apples game in the Atlanta airport and we played in a random gate.
Lunch was Chic-fil-a, Cinnabon, and other notorious lunch spots. We all wore our green shirts and awesome, flaming hats. We could be seen from Sydney as we walked through the terminals. Notable stars along the way were Shawn Michaels (WWE) and the tall twin brother from last year’s Stanford Cardinal basketball team.
I am pumped for the rest of the trip. We have mastered the planes, but we have another 16 hours in the air. It is 11 pm and wake up call is 4:45. Gotta go! Hey mom, send $$$.

I loved reading Joanne's and Kevin's comments. (Thanks for putting this together Bill!) As a mom, it is comforting to know that after the looong day of travel Kevin has not lost his sense of humor. :)
