Back at the hotel after a looooong day...

Well, here is the story of my hectic day in chronological order.

First, we woke up and got breakfast and took the car to Lafayette Airport. We got there at about 6. We checked in at the self-service kiosks and printed our boarding passes. Then we took the escalator to the 2nd floor and got to TSA. I did everything right there. Shoes off, computer in a second bin, wristband off, everything! From the way I handled the stuff to put in the bin,, you would've thought I was a frequent flyer! And then when I got to the metal detector, I heard a beeeeeeeeeep! And then the officer said, hold on. At this point I was freaking out. I didn't have any bombs! What was going to happen to me? And then, the agent said, "the machine has randomly selected you for additional screening." How lucky am I? So I went to this other officer and he took this device that had a base like that thing the doctor sticks in your ears during a check-up but had a tip that looked like a stethoscope. He put this small disposable cloth on the device and scanned my hands, wrists, and forearms for bombs. Well, no bombs! So after that ordeal, we made it to the gate with more than enough time to wait for our call to board. Well, let me tell you, that plane's overhead compartments can't fit any more than a backpack in there. So, my original carry-on luggage was checked for free. And that, my friends, is why I do not have any visual documentations of the first flight.
The first plane was really really cramped. But the flight felt like no time at all, and before I knew it, we were already in Atlanta.
We deplaned at gate C53 and had to take the tram to Concourse B. We had originally planned to eat at the Charley's Grilled Subs in Concourse B, our departure terminal. But we came to find that our Charley's had been replaced with a Popeye's. But me and dad really wanted to take mom to our favorite sandwich place So we went back to the C gates and went to the Charley's there. Awesome Sandwiches!!! I had a bacon 3cheese steak. Yummy yummy. So after that we went back to B and walked all the way to B3. It was nice to sit down for a while. But 5 minutes after we sat down, they started boarding! What a break, huh?

Now I brought my carryon luggage onboard this one. I loved this flight because it was short and sweet. And smooth. I have some visual refernces.

These were my complimentary inflight snacks: Delta brand mini pretzels and a sprite.

Soon again, we were in Orlando. We made our way to the magical express, a complimentary bus service from the Orlando Airport to your hotel. We climbed aboard that, checked into the hotel, took a rest, and headed to Downtown Disney.

When we got to Downtown Disney, we went to tons of differernt places. I would show you pictures, but we forgot our camera. Anyway, we went to a shop where it is Christmastime all year, The awesomest candy shop of all time,  a shop where you can make your own tee shirt, a Giant Tinker Toy statue, anda bunch of more fun places. After we did all that, we stopped at this restaurant called Earl of Sandwiches for dinner. I got a Earl's club. It was amazing. It was so good, we will go there for breakfast tomorrow! After that, we went to the IllumiNations fireworks display at Epcot. It was great! Here are some clips of the extravaganza.

After that we went home and to showers and went to bed. That was day 1. Tomorrow, look out for day 2!
