ACT I. Scene I.
Enter mom, dad, Brittany and me. The place is our house. The time is July 10th at 2:00 in the morning
So there I was. Wide awake after a sleepless night. I don't know why, but from the moment I actually tried to fall asleep until the moment my alarm clock annoyingly beeped me up, I could not sleep a wink. This was not a good sign as I, well, I know how in Walt Disney World, there is no such thing as sleep! Was I doomed to walk the next few days in utter fatigue? God, I hoped not.
I whacked my hand against the alarm to shut it up and I stumbled to the bathroom to start getting ready for our journey to Logan International Airport in Boston, MA. Aside from the fact that I not only looked like I didn't get the sleep I wanted and aside from the fact that I was edging on just passing out right there on the floor, I was excited. I mean, my goodness! We were getting ready for Walt Disney World!!
Nothing too exciting happened between 2 and 3 am other than the usual counting of bags and double and triple checking to make sure we had everything so I'm gonna cut to the chase here. At 3 we packed into the car like sardines (but happy sardines 'cause, well, I'll let you take a guess here!). The luggage was squeezed into every nook and cranny that allowed for it in the car making the backseat window my new best friend as my face remained pressed there for the hour ride to the airport.
Finally, we arrived at Boston. The doors of the car opened and we all spilled out like fish spilling out of a water tank.

Tower of Terror or just unusually fast elevators...that make animal noises...? We took the elevators down to the 4th floor and were immediately welcomed in by sounds of birds that are not native to airport parking lots. They sounded so real...and they sounded like they were directly above us. They weren't real, however. It took me about 5 minutes to figure that out, but yeah. They're fake. Then they started getting annoying. Then I wanted to smack whatever was making that noise. Then I wanted to scream at it to shut up! Then I started to hate those birds! DARN BIRDS!! Needless to say, I still had some waking up to do.
While we waited at the gate, I soon discovered how completely hungry I had gotten since we left the house. To eat or not to eat. That became the question.
To eat.
I found a Dunkin Donuts RIGHT NEXT to our gate. Well, okay, it was a few gates down but it was close enough. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with ham, eggs, and cheese on a bagel. It was VERY good, I might add.
My mom, dad, and sister all got something to eat too. But nothing could compare to how good my breakfast sandwich tasted. If you go to Dunkin Donuts, order that! Anywho, as I sat there at the gate, I half-knowingly watched the T.V. directly in front of me. The news was on CNN and luckily I'm not terrified of flying and luckily I didn't have to take this online course that tried to help me get over flying and luckily it wasn't like I was trying to get my mind off of anything negative before we got into the plane because the news was discussing increased terrorist plots on planes...

Good thing I was only half awake or else I would have been

Finally our flight was called for Orlando International Airport (MCO) and we proceeded to gather together in a line and when our time came, we each handed the flight attendant our boarding pass and continued down the terminal into our assigned seats. I got the aisle seat and though I preferred window, it was taken by a lady (or I think it was a lady ) who I think was a few fries short of a happy meal. The aisle seat was looking pretty darn good as my sister got the middle seat situated right next to our brand new friend!
