Recap

So as I'm pretty sure I said in my previous post I would start to tell you of what happened during my vacation last week or so. Anyways I'm going to try to do this in a each day is a single post type format. Unless I did too much or have too much to say. But none the less you'll know of what day I'm talking about and general time and such. Alright so I guess I'll start with day 1!

It wasn't all that exciting since it involved lots of waiting in the airport and flying. During the flight I either slept or listened to my Ipod. Not very exciting. Oh, occasionally I would look out the window to see the clear skies and the clouds below. It's something I enjoy doing while flying. The waiting and flying lasted from about 9:00am Calgary time to about 5:30pm San Diego time. The flight was in the afternoon but we got a ride from my dear sister to the airport. But the only time she could do that without interfering with her work was to bring us to the airport at 9:00...ish. Once we got there, we went to get the rental car that we would be driving around in. In which the shuttle that was supposed to pick us up was late. I didn't mind that much but we were kinda tired from traveling so it made us a bit cranky. Remember that for the rest of the post... I don't think me or my parents are usually unreasonable. Anyways, we get the shuttle ride to the rental, then we find out they made a mistake with the rental. They tried to give us a 4 door sedan when we asked for a minivan. Easy mistake right? So instead we get this really big SUV, the Secoya? I probably spelled that wrong and got the wrong vehicle but whatever.

After getting the car, we decide it's time to go to hotel to get our room that we booked. So we get directions from the guy in the rental place and head out. However, the place he pointed out was the wrong place. Another simple mistake, but still we were very annoyed. After getting lost 4 times and taking a wrong turn 3 times, we finally arrive at the hotel. My dad gets angry because he can't find the underground parking, but eventually we find it. We get to the room and my mom tells us it kinda smells funny. But it's your generic hotel room. It wasn't the best I've seen nor the worst. Kinda in the middle. Moving on... we sit around a bit looking at everything in the room and seeing what we can see from the window. We then decide that it's time to eat dinner... at 10:00pm local time. We decide we're to worn out to go eat out at a restaurant so we opt for pizza instead. We get our pizza and some hot wings and return to the room and eat said food. We then call it a night. I struggle to sleep through my Dads very loud snoring... I didn't know he snored that loud...

Ahem. It was not my idea to get you guys to the airport that early. In fact, my scheduling constraints forced you to arrive half an hour later than originally requested by a certain paternal figure. >_<

And, since you brought it up, it's spelled Sequoia.
