We left the house at 8:00 pm because we needed to pick-up Liz's cousin in Arcadia so that she can drop us off at LAX and then pick us up when we get back home as well.
We got to the airport and finally checked in. Denise and Ericka actually got there ahead of us. We were all super starved and ready to grab some dinner, which also became the first drink of the trip!
I ordered myself the burger at the only restaurant that was open. It was expensive and not good. But it did satisfy my belly and had enough carbs to soak up all that alcohol. Because, you know, I'm deathly afraid of getting far too wasted! I mean, it's been three years!! That's a long time of no alcohol.
And so it starts! We all ordered drinks to go with our meals. I ordered myself a Moscow Mule type of drink. The burger was meh and super dry. There was no condiments in it. No mayo, ketchup, mustard or relish. Booo. Not even a different sauce like BBQ or ranch either. But, I ate it because I was hunger and I needed my tummy satisified with all the alky. The fries were also meh, but we kept eating them because they were right in front of us.
After we ate, we met up with An and Athenel and Denise and Liz went off to find us chasers because we totally brought in a bunch of those mini bottles of alky and we were all gonna have ourselves some drank!
We had our cheers and then went off to our board our plane! The flight was only a few hours over to Houston, TX. We all tried to get some much needed shut eye, cause we knew when we landed in Charleston, it would be 10:00 am and we'd have to hit the ground running. Our flight was slightly delayed too, so when we landed at our lay over, we had to make a mad dash to our connecting flight. And I really don't get it. Every connecting flight I'd ever had was a total journey across the entire airport! How do they not try and put them next to each other, especially when it's the same exact airline? Anyways, we luckily made it in time and this flight we shared with An and Athenel and their other sister, Nella, we we met up with at the airport. The flight was also a bit longer and most of us got some good sleep. And then, here we are! Good ol' Charleston, SC!
