Katie to Oregon - Nov 2007

Katie flew Delta nonstop Monday, November 19, 2007. Nathan called at midnight PT to serve as Katie's alarm clock. Then she drove to her parents' house with her luggage and they took her to the airport. She was able to check two bags free and only had to move one shoe from one bag to another to avoid the heavy bag fee. The flight was not full and she was able to have an empty seat between her and another lady. The plane took forever, literally an hour or so, before it finally took off but then the flight was smooth and even made better time than expected due to wind currents. She was nervous about the time since she had an interview that day but was obviously not supposed to think about time since her watch died midflight. Besides worrying that she would be late for her interview, the only unsettling part was that this was her second flight without a cell phone. (The first was to Seattle in 2006.) Her new cell phone was waiting for her in Oregon and her old one was now her mother's. The flight crew and her seat companion were all pleasant and Anna was waiting for her when she landed and made it to her interview on time.

Her return ticket was unused =)
