Departure to LAX
January 3, 2007
I got to the Atlanta airport at 4:30 am to check in for my
flight. The departure had been delayed from 6 to 7 am. The start of a bad day
of airplane delays. I had breakfast in the terminal and said goodbye to
my mom and dad and headed through security. My plane boarded at 7am but sat on
the runway for 2 hours and 30 minutes because of thunderstorms in Houston. I finally took
of at 10:35 am. The plane was a small
50-seater and flying through the thunderstorms with tons of turbulence made me
feel awful.
