It is currently 8:42 am Eastern Standard time and i am at the airport! This morning i was a wreck! I have been saying im so excited im so excited and how it hasn't hit me yet that i am actually leaving. Well guess what?, it just hit me when i had to say goodbye to my puppy Mickey, my brother mark and his girlfriend kelly. My parents are coming with me. My mom and I are flying, while my dad is currently arriving in florida as we speak because he drove my car from south jersey to florida! He left saturday night/sunday morning at 3am, drove until 9pm and was in Georgia. He woke up at 5:30am the same time my mom and I did and will be arriving in orlando today. We are so happy to meet him there!
I must say i did wait until the last minute to say goodbye to everyone. With me i like to go out have a good time and just be with my friends, so the past weeks thats what i did. These times of going out, i made sure that my friends and i did not mention me going away or i would most likely cry like a baby. I had made an event on facebook to have all my friends go out the saturday of my last full week home, that way the next week i could save for my goodbyes and getting all my last minute things together. The last night i had made my rounds to my closest friend danielle and marissa and her boyfriend. I thought they deserved an individual goodbye considering every other time was with a group of people. I honestly did not cry but was very sad and i am crying about it today.This involved things such as, packing for the few days that i will be before my actual check-in date, having doctor check up, dentist appointment and hair appointment. I would very much recommend getting there 2 or 3 days earlier so you can get settled and are not rushing the day of check-in to get situated. If you are traveling alone there is a holiday inn right across from Vista Way (the place of check-in). Luckily I am a vacation club member and we are staying at Disney's Old Key West Resort.
We had picked an early flight because the lines of TSA are very small and we will get there around 12pm (2 hour flight) We are meeting my dad at the resort so me and my mother are taking the magical express from the Orlando International Airport. We are flying southwest and this is one airline that i would love to get out there. Not only do they have great deals, they allow you to have 2 bags fly for free 50lbs limit and as much carry-on as you want. Usually a rolling bag and like a backpack. They do not charge you for carry-ons like some airlines are doing at the moment.
The morning of departure i would say have all your luggage pack that you are bringing the car packed the night before, and your carry-on bag loaded or loading before leaving for the airport
Make sure when you get ready you have waterproof mascara and no eye liner as your goodbyes will lead you to cry.
Welp my flight is arriving and i have to pack everything to travel. Safe traveling everyone :)
