Going To Colorado

On December 14th my parents and I left the house at 4 am. It was very dark and was snowing. We had breakfast at McDonald’s and then headed to the airport. We parked in the Economy Lot – our first time using it – and were picked up right by our car by the shuttle. We had no issues checking-in (I had already checked us in online, but had to d the bags and the chair. Then we went through security.

I usually don’t have any problems with the TSA at Manchester and didn’t this time except that they had 3 lanes opened and all had to go through 1 full-body scanner so we had to wait a long time. It would have been faster if they had only 1 or 2 lanes opened. There was one TSA guy who kept saying that he was sorry for the wait (to my mom and myself.)

We pre-boarded (which was good since we were flying with my dad – usually it is just my mom and me) and got seats close to the door. We had to wait at the gate with the door closed for an hour while they were fixing some bags – or so they said.

The flight was very bumpy the majority of the time. During the 4 ½ hour flight there was only 22 minutes that everyone (including the flight attendants) were allowed up. It was such a relief when we finally landed in Denver.

We got the chair quickly and then had to wait because one of the foot-rests was missing. We then took the train to the terminal and got our bags and met –up with my sister and sister-in-law and drove to Colorado Springs.
