Made It To Mesa

I made it! Shouldn’t seem like such a big deal, but it sure seems like it.

I don’t know what happened to my timing this morning. I got up at 0230 to leave the house by 0400. I still had some packing and a few other things to do.

I was rushing around and didn’t leave the house til 0445.

My flight left at 0555!

It normally takes me about an hour to drive to that airport (1.5 hours to the other).

Yes, I admit it, I WAS speeding like a bat out of hell all the way to the airport.

I thought I might just make it with minutes to spare if I parked right at the airport itself. I had no idea they were working on the parking lots and I couldn’t find a way in. 🙁

I frantically turned around and sped back to the offsite parking and nervously waited while they loaded up the bus.

Luckily, the security (FARCE) line was short and I somehow even got a pre-check or I never would have made it. My attempts to run to the gate were not helping me much. I never could run very fast or very far. Plus, I was wearing flip-flops to help with getting through security.

I made it to my flight with 3 minutes to spare. Big sigh.  🙂
