Flight to Virginia

It all started at 6:00 am California Time.
My mom and I left the house, we stopped and got Coffee and Hot Chocolate.
Then we were on the road, Destination, Long Beach Airport.
We got there and all checked in at 7:23, my flight was scheduled to leave at 10:10 am and boarding was scheduled to start at 9:40, I was early to say the least.
We then went to the gift shop inside the check in terminal, there they had this Monkey that was lying on the floor, when you walked past it a monition sensor inside would detect movement and start laughing, this thing was hysterical. I've never laughed so hard at something so stupid, ever. We killed about half an hour in the gift shop, then we wandered and ended up sitting on a bench outside the security near the baggage claim area.It was now around 8. We sat there until about 8:30 then I decided to start heading through security. Standing in line the woman in front of me had black and white converse on and I complimented her because I had on the same shoes, we began talking about how comfortable they were.Then I got my ticket checked off and went through. After walking under the metal detector I was asked to step aside and then the man called for Female Assistance. A nice woman came over and pulled me into the glass cage like box. She began to pat me down, she then said "I think your under wire bra is what set it off, you're free to go." I proceed to gather my belongings and then find a seat to redress myself (put my shoes and belt back on) after I get this done I go to find Gate 1 I find it then find a seat. I pull out my iPod almost dead. I begin to listen and then it dings new wireless connection found! I was excited I update my myspace, facebook, and twitter. Then an announcement "Flight 304 to Dulles with continuation to Boston has been delayed until 12:00 noon due to weather in the D.C. area." Groans and mumbles fill the air Not two minutes later another announcement. " Good news to all members of Flight 304 we will now be leaving at 10:30 and boarding will begin at 10" Shouts and claps are now filling the air. Around 9:50 another announcement "Boarding for Flight 304 will begin at 10:30 and take off will be at 11 which get us to Dulles around 6:30." So I proceed to call/text family members to give them a heads up. The next announcement calls for all passengers to board the flight. YAY! So I get on the plane and I in the middle of two ladies I'm pretty relived I thought my seat was next to the creepy guy on the other side of the aisle. We get in the air and everything is going great He's just not that into you is the movie playing so I'm excited. Then the lady sitting next to me starts feeling sick which didn't affect me but I felt bad for her. Then I watch the movie and as my Grandma T would say there were a couple of "bumpy bits" but nothing I couldn't handle. Then the Pilot makes an announcement "As many of you may have been able to tell we've been circling for the past 30 minutes hoping that the storm will pass. If the weather doesn't change soon we're gonna have to land in Pittsburgh refuel which will probably take about 10 minutes and we'll turn off the seat belt sign so you can use the restroom and walked around and then hopefully the storm will have passed so we can land at Dulles. This is the plan if we don't hear anything different within the next couples minutes." Next announcement," Good News! we can now land in Dulles and we are scheduled to arrive at 11 after the hour. So this Flight gets longer and longer. There are a few more "bumpy bits" but we finally get there at 7:14 (when I got my first text). So I'm walking off the plane and I untie my shoe. Now I walk carefully until I find a bench. Then I had to get on a traveling lounge and the guy who sat down next to me smelled bad. Then I got to the main terminal and had to find baggage claim. I got down the stairs and went around the corner. Went the wrong way but finally found Grandma and Grandpa! My luggage was there shortly and then we were on our way! We got to the house I unpacked and fell asleep shortly after 11 east coast time which is 8 Cali time and I woke up around 11:45 EST so I got a good night's sleep. Long day but it was ok in the end.
