Ah, the day has finally arrived. The day to leave for San Antonio. I have to admit in some ways it will be nice to leave the Christmas cookies and leftover ham behind and head to Texas to cover the Alamo Bowl. In the last 3 days, I've consumed more sodium and sugar than I am proud of. Oh well.. I'll be working it off in Texas.
So, we are waiting in the terminal of HIA (or MDT if you are making a reservation). We went through security and because we are media (I'm assuming) we were scrutinized even more. I don't mind, really. Everyone was extra friendly. Carrying our equipment is not fun -- very, very heavy!
So now, we wait... I'm bad at waiting. That, and I hate flying. This is will be my third trip involving air travel in 3 weeks. I know flying is safe but I'm not convinced of it 30,000 feet up. My photographer Justin loves to fly, especially on the small planes. He says he likes to "feel" flying. Are you kidding me? The only part of the flight I enjoy is when I "feel" the wheels touch down and I'm at my final destination.
Tomorrow will be a busy day -- bowl games always are! Lots of work, little sleep and no breaks. But hey, that's what it's all about. So here's to safe travels!
I'll be in touch! Here we come San Antonio!
