Day 1 - Travel to Atlanta

Starting our adventure - by Sandy V and the girls!

We had to get up really early, then we went to the Glasgow airport and everyone's family was there. Next, we had to get our luggage checked after we packed it so nicely for the trip, next was security.They were nice.

Next was the plane. We were "sterile" so we couldn't hug our families or have any contact with them. The plane was REALLY small. Our team took most of the space but there was room for two more. The pilot was funny.

Then we got to the Billings airport,everything was overpriced. We had to wait for three hours for the next plane to Denver...(do not eat tuna salad at an airport..Icky!) When we finally got on the plane we got to watch TV, listen to music, and have free pop! Plus we got airplane pins from a flight attendant like the ones the pilots wear. (that plane was our favorite).

Then we got to the Denver airport..WOW its HUGE! It's more like a mall than an airport. We ate ice cream at Ben & Jerry's. They have cool escalators that are on the floor. You can walk on them and get to the other side of the airport faster. They're really fun! Then we went to the Chocolate Factory...YUMM. Next we went to toy stores. Then we had to wait to board the plane. Nicole and Chase didn't have seats for a while because the plane was overbooked. But thankfully people volunteered to take another flight the next day.

We got to Atlanta at 10:00 their time. When we got to the hotel we ordered pizza and it took an hour and ten minutes to get to the hotel. When we got it we were all happy! Except for some people who were asleep when it came. Day 1 was busy and it had a lot of new experiences. The city is HUGE and noisy and BRIGHT!
