Merry Xmas!!!!!

Well, Saturday i left Boulder for home to see the fam and friends. However, instead of flying out on thursday i had to fly out saturday. DIA was to say the least the most rediculous, crazy, negatively vibed place I have been in awhile. With two hours lines at the check in counters and 2 hours lines to get trough security, plus the train ride to your terminal, its easy to say that there was a lot of people there, i mean a lot of people. However being the genious that i am, an knowing about the Oversized baggage only check in, i brought my bike. The 2 hour check in line was over in about 5 minutes. One lady tried to give me lip about going underneath the rope, but the lady working at the counter told me "don't listen to them sweety, come over here". With that i looked at the lady chewing me out and smiled. So in short, bringing my bike saved me about 2 hrs, essentially allowing me to make my flight. After i was done checking my luggage i went down to the security line...dun, dun dun...........It was incredible. The security line rapped around the entire terminal twice, and thrice by the time i was going into the actualy swtchbacks of the security line.

However amongst all the angry people, i managed to be in line with the only 2 other happy people in the airport.

We laughed at how long the line was getting. We were running to catch up with the end of the line since it was forming so damn fast. We actually told people to run the other way to catch the end of the line. The end of the line was marked by the "Security Line" guy.

The line was soooo long you couldnt even see the end down one side of the terminal.

oh, and if anyone reading this lost a bag at DIA, i wouldn't expect it for about a week at best.

Now after making it through security i was able to board, however this flight was different than most. I flew first class, oh yea. Thank god, because we spent well over an hour in the plane and i was fed well. They really do treat you different up there in the high roller cabin. I was eating 3X as much as those in economy. The reason i flew 1st was because due to the blizzard, every flight to basically anywhere in Tejas was booked, except a first class ticket, thanx mom and dad! and it round trip! so tuesday will have the same luxuries. During the time on the ground, we had to wait for this guy to de-ice our plane.

Then we had to wait in this to take off since they only had one runway open.

However we finally amde it up into the air.

Well, although i dont have pics yet, i had a great meal with the family. It supposed to clear up later, probably go for a quick ride. Trying to see friends and family, and ride all in 3 days is kinda tough. Hope everyone out there is having a great time and enjoying their holidays.

Merry Christmas!
