Day One - Beth

Day ONE:

Nervous, excited, sad, anxious, sniffles, cough.....

Met Sean's mum Molly and went out for lunch with her. Who is awesome!

Left Hamilton, ON at 3pm to go to the Buffalo Airport. Once there, of course, Sean runs into his old friend and they chat it up for a while. We take our shoes off, go through the metal detectors and finally get on the plane by 7pm. It was a long but fun wait. On the plane, I start to get nervous (as I have not flown since I was, um... 10?) so I down my anxiety meds and feel a bit better (there are pics to follow this, I just can't seem to upload them!). I get the window seat (yay!) and Sean is stuck in the middle of me and a guy named Kelly, who was very nice and talkative (which Sean loved). By the end of the flight, Kelly had offered Sean a full time job in North Carolina if he ever got laid off from Ford (figures).

Get off the plane in Charlotte, NC for our layover. I go to the bathroom and Sean runs into another person he knows (some chicky, don't remember her name). Starting to think Sean is slightly popular all over the world as we can't go anywhere without him making a friend or running into an old one!!! Slightly jealous...

Almost get on a plane to New Orleans... but I spotted the gate change in time!!!

Takeoff to final destination - Sarasota! Sean and I sit togethor and laugh our asses off watching dave chappelle on my new mp3 player... scare the flight attendant (LOL).

Get into Sarasota way earlier than planned (the pilot was speeding!) and we wait for our luggage to go round and round... Go outside for a ciggy and HUGE palm trees and warm breeze greets us... ah..... I hug a palm tree (photos to follow).

"Sean!" - and there is Aunt Jan!!! Who is one of the most wonderful women I have ever met! Her home is just about 5 mins away from the airport and is so cute and beautiful and cozy and exotic... way cool! Her cat I mistake for a dog at first... love Petunia! We eat pizza and crash... I hit the pillow like a rock, feeling slightly sick but brush it off as "just a cold..."

More will be revealed!!! Sean's turn!!!
