US Roadtrip - part 1 (of many:)

[beelikej]

First things first...No matter how I try, I simply can't make a small selection of travelphotos, even for a short introduction post, oops. Before I take you along on our roadtrip, I have to get the shaky start of this trip off my chest. If you kept an eye on my Twitter, you already know about this and I did mention it briefly in a previous post,

What a great start, except for the whole lost luggage thing. I love this already!!

[beelikej]

There is much more fun to come:)
Part two is up now!

YAY!!! you are on your way :) what a clusterf**k, seriously, you are sucha good sport about it all!!! Do you not have water in your toilets?

[beelikej]

I was very proud of myself for keeping positive despite the Airline failures. Let the good times begin. ( part two is up!)

Dutch toilet bowls typically have a plateau with only a little puddle of water, so there is no splash back. It's called a shallow flusher (as opposed to the US deep flusher)

Hey, woman! I got your package! Thank you, darlin'! Showed it to my bro and explained your JDM fangirling . . . and he, also being a JDM fan, approved mightily. (I'm never gonna cut those guys out, though -- could be worth big money some day.)

When they finally called my name I was told they overbooked and they asked me to give up my seat; they offered me an alternative flight straight to Chicago, that would cut 4 hours off my already ridiculous delay. Boarding on that flight had also already started, so I had to run to the other gate, trusting the promise of the lovely lady behind the desk that they would take care of my checked in backpack...

Good grief, could your flight out BE any worse? I would never fly United again.

Hello, Chicago, indeed. Lake Point Tower and Navy Pier, I seeeeee youuu . . .

Also? T's wall is indeed awesome. Impala-tastic, if you will. :)

Can't wait to read about the rest of your road trip . . . :)

[beelikej]

Yay, so happy it reached you, I wish I could have given it to you in person (with stern instructions to make them;) *high five to your brother*

Oh, I'm definitely avoiding United in the future.

There is much more Chicago to come, you just have to be patient :-p

I loved T's house so much, I enjoyed discovering all the SPN and fandom touches;)

Part two is up!

Seriously, your flight in was such a clusterfuck. ANYWAY! Yay for picspams! (even though I've seen most of them already *cackles and rubs hands* ;) ) T's wall is super awesome, love the Impala flag thing. <3

[beelikej]

Thanks for sitting through the slideshow *grins* The set you missed will be in part 3 later. T has more fanart, but that cool Impala just had to be our background for the first selfie:)

This vacation was the best one I've had in years. I had so much fun and I'm so happy that you enjoyed it as well.

Even with all the trouble United gave you, you were determined to have a good time. And we so did!!!! Gosh, I can hardly believe that was just a few weeks ago that we packed up the car and away we went on our adventure! :)

And I love, love, love your icon!!!!!

[beelikej]

Saaaame, this was exactly the vacation I needed and a true luxiourious experience for me, traveling with my very own driver and taking a bath nearly every night;)

Feel free to use that icon if you (ever) return to LJ, it's your car after all;)
