denver, day one: airport security

i'm gonna try to update and keep like a journal of my trip to denver. today i had a ton of downtime while traveling so i got to post a lot as it was happening... and with a ton of pics!

got up at 4am which sucked because i went to bed at 1am so do the math i slept for 3 hours and even within those three hours i hardly slept. anyways we got to albany airport at like 6am for our 7am flight. airport security however kicked my ass. i put all of my stuff in the bin and i step though. the lady says to go back so i do. i go though a second time and she says 'go in there' there is a almost penalty box looking thing. so i stand in there and these two guys tell me to follow them to this roped off part. i get there and he guy explains to me that hes going to pat me down and run some hi-tech metal detector over me. it felt pretty awkward, but i never took off my belt with a huge metal buckle on it and it kept sending the alarm off along with my gold chains. so note to self and anyone, dont go to airport all blinged out. so i wait about an hour for the plane somewhat pissed off because i got frisked. anyways we got on the plane from albany to where i am right now typing this in philly on my layover. the plane took about 45 mins tops which made me feel pretty stupid after being on a train for like 5 hours to get there when i went to lewisburg. i'm here now in philly (huuuge airport) with my family by our gate which will take us to denver, about a 4 hour flight. it is 909am right now. next time i type ill be in denver.

(12:40 eastern time on plane over god knows where midwest.) so i lied i'm not in denver yet i am currently in the sky on the plane. i'm so bored that i decided to pull out the computer. the view out the window is crazy it makes you realize the world is a very small place. however this turbulence right now is making it super hard to type anything. a girl just walked past my row with a valencia hoodie, woo for rob hitt on the air planes. apparently they are playing a johnny depp movie right now that i dont think anyone has heard of. he dont look super creepy on it, well as super creepy. i think i got one more hour till denver right now, seeing its almost 1pm eastern time. alright i'm done i can't think of anything else to say right now. see you in denver.


(213pm mountain time 413 pm eastern time) i am finally in denver where you can see snow on the mountains still.. after the plane ride which seemed like an eternity and the most rough landing ever, but alas im here. denver airport is pretty cool its huge and its got these little subway like things you take to get your luggage, and the top of it supposed to look like snowcaps but i think it looks like a bunch of teepees. so now i'm at the car rental place across the street from the airport. i can see planes come and go. we've been waiting here for over an hour the line for the cars is really long. after this i think we are going to my cousins then to the hotel. ill write again once something happens. i'm just standing here.


(558pm mountain time) i'm in our hotel room at the holiday inn which is like an exotic island paradise thing. its weird the outside its like a indoor courtyard with a pool, a putting green, ping pong table, and pool table it has like fake palm trees all over and stuff. which is why its an exotic paradise. my whole family is pretty miserable right now for a variety of reasons and blah blah its not like you didnt see it coming... i think we are going out to dinner in a few minutes.



(912pm mountain time) just got back from dinner at this place hops or something which is next to the hotel. i'm sooo tired now, in reality for me its 1119pm now. so needless to say i'm going to sleep. ill report what i do tomorrow... prob with less pics though seeing i wont have my computer with me all day.
