Update up to the Layover

I am in Phoenix on a two over layover and my plane is 45 minutes delayed so I thought I would entertain myself and you all with a few posts. Don't get too used to it... I may not post much over the next two weeks (if at all) but I promise to update you all when I get home! Or on my layover in Phoenix on the way back especially if that flight is delayed again!

I figure the best way to explain my day would be through a pros and cons list. Feel free to read only the pros or cons if you are feeling optimistic or pessimistic. I will give you a equal supply of each (we will call this realism):
Pro: Free wi-fi in the Phoenix airport.
Con: Did I mention my plane is 45 minutes late?
Pro: An electrical outlet so I can charge and use my laptop. Yea!
Con: My plane landed in terminal 3 and my flight takes off from terminal 4. I had to take a bus to terminal 4 and no one was very helpful in directing me to the bus stop. The lady who finally gave me directions told me to go the wrong way. Luckily I figured out I was in the wrong place before boarding a bus headed for terminal 2.
Pro: The man beside me on my plane told me I HAD to try the "crumbly blue cheese salad" from Paradise Grill while in the airport. He said it was the best salad in Phoenix. I ordered one and just finished it... It was good! It had romaine, Cesar dressing, blue cheese, craisins and sunflower seeds.
Con: My blue cheese salad made my bag suspicious and the x-ray tech had to run it twice. Oops. I guess I had less than three ounces of liquid on my salad though because he let me go. Cesar dressing... tricky, tricky!
Pro: I am actually managing to stay awake! I got 3 hours of sleep last night (which is a con) but I am handling it okay and hopefully it will help me acclimate to Hawaii time. I went to bed at 4am which was 11pm in Hawaii. Only problem is I woke up at 7am which is 2am Hawaii time... Oops. Hopefully I will sleep well on the plane (which would be a pro) and adjust to the time change quickly!
Con: When I got to terminal 4 the Departure Board told me to go to A-24. I made it to A-24 (the furthest possible gate in A) to find out that I was actually departing from B-11. There had been a gate change. No biggie... I am headed to Hawaii... I can handle this... So I walked to B-11 (thankfully I did not have to go through security again)... Of course it is the last gate down the terminal too. Haha!
Pro: I got my workout today walking around this airport!
Con: The airplane was SO cold the first hour and a half of my flight. I mean Arctic tundra... I am normally cold so me saying this isn't all that significant... Other than the fact that EVERYONE was cold. I am thinking it was about 50 degrees on the plane. It finally warmed up for the last thirty minutes. Unfortunately the blankets were all gone within the first five minutes of the flight. I am not making the same mistake when I get on this flight. I am going to get a blanket BEFORE I take my seat.
Pro: I had my jacket with me on the plane so I had some protection from the elements.

Alright, that is all I have for now. I am going to watch a movie I rented from I-tunes and wait for my flight. I am getting pretty excited!!! I get to see Tiffany and David tonight and Amber is flying in on Tuesday. Fun, fun, fun!!!
