SB Adventures

As well all know you can't have a Spring Break with no stories! But, I have to say, these stories usually don't occur until you arrive where your Spring Break is taking place. For me, this was not true.

I began my morning waking up a little too late for my flight to Arizona. I was nervous because I knew it was SB and I thought that there would be a ton of people at the airport. Lucky for me there wasn't.

I flew through security and finally met up with my two friends Alison and Jesseann who were also flying to Arizona with me!  We got our Starbucks and began to walk to the gate where we were already boarding! (we thought our flight was later than it actually was and of course we didn't look at our boarding pass).  We get to the gate and finally look at what we think was our boarding pass but turns out it was something else that we had to show at the gate in order to redeem our actual boarding pass.

While standing at the gate talking to the guy behind the desk I just so happen to knock my brand new Starbucks drink on the ground..

I was so embarrassed and was mad at the same time because I hadn't ate or drank anything all morning. But, since I have such great friends they split their drinks and made me a brand new one :)

Finally when we received our official boarding passes we were able to get on the plane...not to mention the very last people on the plane.

Once we got on the plane our other three friends (backtracking here) who were also going to Arizona, were saving seats for us! This started a huge commotion on the plane and people were mad at them for saving seats and we actually held up the blame by doing this. But of course we thought this was hilarious!

FINALLY, we were seated and ready for takeoff.  And course we were not yelling and screaming the whole ride there.  Of course we were not the loud obnoxious college girls on the plane.  NOT. By the time we were getting off the plane the stewardess' and pilots were saying things like "hey if you get arrested were not bailing you out of jail" and "hey don't go too crazy when you're here" and then "Ah what the heck, go crazy you're in your 20's"

Needless to say...we made quite the impression on the flight. When arrived we wanted to take a picture together so I asked what seemed like a normal human being to take one.

 I don't think I need to say anymore...

BUT, I do hope everyone is having an amazing SB so far and if you have any funny stories to tell please share :)!!

After looking at more and more websites that provided information on where to go over Spring Break it became repetative.  It is very apparent that these are the places to go for Spring Break.

I asked around campus to see where our fellow classmates were going and what they planned on doing while they were there as well.

Whether were a partier and party pooper we all make the best out of Spring Break. This is a time for all of us to get away from school and regain some strength to finish off the semester before summertime. I wish everybody an amazing BUT SAFE Spring Break 2011 :)!!!
