Hey, I made it to DC!

January 16, 2009

After being on a plane for so long I finally made it to DC.  Today I woke up early to go to the LAX Airport. I got on a Virgin America plane, that was so nice. I thought that the airplane was so awesome because they had video games, tv, movies, music, and a food system where you can order lots of snacks and drinks from your screen. 

I was a little scared when the plane had turbulence, after all this is my first time on a plane. At some points the plane felt like it was falling out of the sky. After all of the turbulence was done we made it to the Dulles Airport (IAD) safely.

After getting off the air plane we got on this tram that took us to get our luggage. After I got my luggage all 12 of my teammtes including four adults had to fit into a crowded bus with suitcases. We had to ride that crowded bus for about 40 minutes. I had to stand up the whole time! We all got off the bus and road the Metrorail. After that I had to walk in the 21 degree weather. My teammate was so cold I let her use my gloves.  We finally made it to the house and it was so warm. I filled up my stomach and I was allllllllllllllllllright!

Thank you Virgin America for giving my teammates and I 12 tickets that I bet cost a lot of money for this trip of a lifetime.

Check in on my blog tomorrow to read about all that I experience on leadership.
