Day 1 - traveling

I heart the Pensacola airport. Seriously, it is such a happy, easy place. The employees have a sense of humor (at least today), the process is quick and painless, and the terminals look like this:

Notice the lack of crowds and stress.

Mama and Daddy Mullinax dropped us off, and Mama and Daddy Dye are supposed to pick us up next Wednesday night. We have it made!

Back to Pensacola. It was about a 30-second walk from the security line to our gate. And ours was no dinky plane. We used the walk-through tunnel instead of the ground and steps up to the plane. I like the tunnels so much better because tunnels = bigger plane than steps. Our 48-minute flight was decently smooth.

Now, we're in ATL, and Gunter has gone in search for Nathan's hot dogs. Too bad our gate isn't near the Chick-Fil-A we saw back in the A concourse.

We're supposed to leave here at 8 p.m., and hopefully, we'll be at Dulles by 9:45 and at our hotel not too much later. Tomorrow, we'll be in search of a watch (perhaps the one thing we forgot), a late check-out and a place to eat.

UPDATE:
Our flight from ATL was right on time. The captain said the descent would be a little bumpy, but I was so busy talking to a woman named Kimberly (actually, doctor Kimberly), I didn't notice.

We were walking through Dulles by 10 p.m., got our luggage and rode a shuttle to our hotel. We are a little tired now. We'll have breakfast here, not sure about lunch, check out about 2 p.m. and take the shuttle back to Dulles for 2 more days of traveling!

I pray that this entire trip will go as smoothly as today so we can keep our minds focused where they should be, but God knows best.
