Tennis Team in Hawaii: Getting there

March 20, 2008

So we’re on the plane on our way to Hawaii for our tennis tournament and so far, we’re all insanely excited. Jenn Johnson, my teammate, and Marc, our coach, are passed out on either side of me. But they still look pretty excited, even in their sleep.

We left Mills at 8:30 this morning and it took forever for them to take off (apparently a whole row of seats on the plane came loose. Doesn’t incite much confidence in the crew or the plane which we’re trusting our life with). We’re taking ATA which was the cheapest flight Marc could get (good one Marc!) except they don’t serve any food (bad one Marc!) for a six hour flight. So I’m starving. I bought this chocolate pastry at the airport terminal but airport food is way too expensive so I couldn’t buy much more.

They’re about to play the usual mediocre movie and then hopefully I’ll somehow pass out.

Six hours and we’ll be in Hawaii!
