Traveling Traditions

As mentioned before, I always stay up all night the night before travelling anywhere, usually because I'm up late packing and since I have to be up early it just makes sense (to me anyway) to stay up. For me, it's easier to pull an all nighter than to wake up after getting a few hours of sleep.

Another one of my traditions is to hit up Starbucks after passing through security so I can get a caramel apple spice. It's so warm and delicious! It's such a great (coffee-free) way to start my day. I love when they have pumpkin scones; combining the two together is like Fall in your mouth.

I didn't take this

My favorite thing about the airport is people watching (while drinking my caramel apple spice). I love people watching...I think everyone does. And if there happens to be some cute guys to watch (in a non creepy, non stalker-ish way), even better. There just so happened to be one yesterday and he just happened to be Asian, possibly Korean. He was in line a ways behind me waiting to go through security so we kept zig-zagging past each other. He was also behind me in line at Starbucks. The only thing that would have been better is if he was on my plane. Sadly he was not. There were no cute guys on my plane, just a bunch of old people.

Usually I sleep on the plane, which I did. I also usually sleep in the car on the way home from the airport since  I'm extremely tired. This time I did not. I told Nana (I think we were in Salem or nearby) that this was the most we've talked on the way to or from the airport since I'm usually asleep. I stayed awake the whole way home, where I crashed on the couch downstairs. I took a nap and then after dinner I crashed again, this time on the couch upstairs. Woke up long enough to remove my make-up and take out my contacts. I think I got at least 12 hours of sleep. Probably more. That's what I get for staying up all night the night before.

I love being home, even though all I've done so far is sleep.
