We got to the airport a little after noon and then had 2.5+ hours to kill. We managed to grind it out, and our airplane ride was uneventful with one shining exception. Somewhere over Oregon, the pilot came over the intercom and said, "For all you space fans and star gazers on the right side of the plane, look out the windows and see the light heading east? That's the International Space Station."
I was bummed we were on the wrong side of the plane to see it, but SO happy he made the announcement. It created a bit of a buzz on board and I'd love to think maybe a few sparks were lit this New Years Eve and some new space fans were created!
We're too tired to unpack tonight, so we'll hit it hard tomorrow, during all the bowl games. Maybe I'll even get caught up on the blog.
