With the Thanksgiving break upon us we were all set for a flying trip to Los Angeles and the warmer weather of California. In order to save a few dollars we had decided to fly out of Chicago rather than South Bend, and thus sleep deprived and exhausted we embarked upon our trip to the airport:
2.00am: Leave South Bend
2.20am: Realize left directions behind
2.45am: Leave South Bend (again)
4.00am: Arrive Chicago
4.40am: Finally locate a parking space to leave our car
5.00am: First train to airport after standing under a ‘heat’ lamp for 20mins
6.30am: Arrive O’Hare airport…not realizing that it was half way to Canada
8.00am: Friendly greeting from warm-handed airport security
9.10am: Pass out as flight departs for Los Angeles
Despite this mid-morning trip to the airport, it was amazing to be back in LA. It had felt like a long time since we had left to drive across the country, and a lot had changed in the time since. Jen’s family were glad to see her, and were well impressed by all that she had achieved. The next few days were complete with the consumption of a small country's annual food supply, family gatherings, movies and relaxation. As LA always is…a great break from reality.
