At the airport.....

Well the first lag of the journey has begun. My parents and little brother and I woke up at midnight and drove the 3 hrs to Minneapolis international airport. We got here at 0315. I am flying standby to San Diego so when I called to get on the standby list I found out the ticket was never paid for by the employee so now the wait begins........Hopefully once the ticket counter opens they will let me pay for it there.......Not a good way to start this journey. :) It's great to be here and know that I am this much closer to the beloved continent of Africa.
