Good morning from the oh so comfy seats in Terminal One of San Diego International Airport. Today I’m headed on my first Summer adventure to the NCAA Career in Sports Forum, and I could not be even more excited, minus the super long flights. As with most adventures I embark on, there are bound to be a few bumps along the way, and I of course had to start this one out the same way. Whenever I fly by myself I more often than not fly American Airlines, which ensures that I’m one of the first to board with Priority Access. When I booked these flights to Indianapolis I was informed that I’d be flying Southwest, which is totally fine by me. Little did I know, however, that you need to check in online to secure your seat and boarding time. Southwest: 1, Meg: 0. By the time I found this out and checked in online, I was ecstatic to find out that I was last to board – woo hoo! (Please note my sarcasm right now) No worries though, I’m still having fun and promised myself I will check in exactly 24 hours before hand to ensure that I’m first on that plane home. As a very smart person once said, ” Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, Shame on me.”

It’s all good in terminal one!

Anyways, sitting here in the terminal, I’ve been playing myself a great game of “People Watching”while  jamming out to music and blogging on my computer. It’s one of my favorite games to play, especially in NYC with friends, but an airport is just as fun. We all try and guess what people do for a living and what their “deal” is – it’s very fun, especially when you’re bored! There are some very interesting subjects in the boarding area, here are my top three so far:

1. The thirty-something couple sitting across from me, making out with their hands all over each other. Headed to Sacramento; it’s interesting to note that they have no luggage with them, she has a ring, he doesn’t… Maybe he just proposed?
2. The Mom with the four kids all under the age of ten. Each kid not only has a humongous oversized backpack, but also a matching pillow pet to match. I’m surprised World War III hasn’t broken out yet, but who knows maybe she’s bribing them with candy.
3. The business man yelling loudly into his blackberry with his iPhone in the other hand, probably looking up sports scores from last night. I just want to say, Hey it’s 9 in the morning, can you take it down a notch, I’m still sleeping.
