Monday morning we went to breakfast before getting ready to go to the airport. Our driveway was pure ice from all the weather while we were sick for what seemed to be forever. We were supposed to drop the 3 dogs off to my sister’s and I thought she was off of work. Turned out to be a big misunderstanding which turned into a huge fight between my sister and I on the morning of our trip. I tried calling her cell and house phone and when I didn’t get an answer I left a message that I would leave the dogs to be picked up at sometime later in their cages at my house. This made my sis very mad (I guess she was already having a bad day) so we turned back around from our trip to the airport and brought the dogs and their cage to her house. Both she and my BIL hung up on me so I was very upset and crying most of my way to the airport. In the emotional state I had already been in, I was just feeling like everyone hated me and I was wishing that I was just back here in my bed with my blog friends. Then I just couldn’t wait to get on the plane and be on my way. I was fine at the airport and then after I took Riss to the bathroom, suddenly a panic attack came over me and I had no control. It was actually pretty embarrassing as I couldn’t breathe, was coughing like a maniac, tears running down my eyes, trying to make it stop by sipping water from a water fountain near by. I managed to ask Riss to go get me some paper towel and I chewed up an anxiety pill. After what seemed like an eternity, I was okay to walk further and go through the security gate. My husband stayed away from me which made me sad that he didn’t try to help but instead made me feel like I was embarrassing him.
So we were ready for our flight which should have left at 12:55 but couldn’t land to pick us up until 40 minutes later due to fog. I sat with Riss on the plane and Al sat with Kev. They had dramamine so we didn’t have repeat episodes of motion sickness. The flight was fine, even though we arrived almost an hour late. My mom was real worried and very relieved to hear our voice. It took no time at all to get our bags and another 40 minute drive brought us to my Mom and Dad’s house in Winterhaven. Dad made us reservations and we went out for a yummy dinner which was fabulous since we hadn’t eaten since breakfast.
This pretty much ended our first day of vacation (travel). I slept in till about 9:30 the next morning.
