Sunrise at the Raleigh-Durham United airport |
Team Japan (Emmali, Ryan, Rick, Russell, and me) met at the RDU airport at about 7:30am and they all chowed down on some breakfast enchiladas at McDonald's (I wasn't hungry.) Afterwards, Ryan treated us all to Starbucks coffee using his saved Christmas money from last year. (Meanwhile, Rick, EmmaLi, Russell, and I all sabotaged Ryan's suitcase by putting glitter in it. He won't find out until Japan.) We had to run for the gate (because somebody spent way too long in the bathroom,) but we got to our gate just in time for departure.
The first flight to Detroit was uneventful. The free crackers were the highlight of the trip so far, if that says anything. I'm sitting with Russell on the long flight to Japan. I don't know if I can stand more than an hour or two in close quarters with him. Good thing our seats are right next to the emergency exit.
