Well, here I am sitting in the Boise airport. My flight got delayed, so instead of leaving Boise at 10:05, we're now leaving until 11:15 (Update: looks like we're not leaving until noon, so I won't be making my flight). Which means I don't get to Portland until 11:45, which isn't very good for me because my flight from Portland to Dallas boards at 11:30 and leaves at 12:15. The lady at the desk thinks that I'll be able to make my connection, but we'll see. Then, if I miss that flight in Portland, there's no way I'm going to make it to Dallas to make the flight to Buenos Aires, so I'd be spending the night in Portland and making my way to Buenos Aires a day later. This would actually work out well for me because I booked my flights for a day early on accident anyways.
However, I'm just starting to get excited for my trip. Buying the awesome new purple luggage didn't do it, packing didn't do it, but apparently sitting in the airport hoping I make my flights will get me all excited. I keep getting this feeling that I left something at home that I'm going to need, but I think I've thought of everything. I've got cookies for a snack, and water bottle for filling, two different cameras in addition to the one on my phone, chargers for everything. I should be set. I really hope I didn't actually leave anything behind.
UPDATE: I definitely missed my flight from Portland to Dallas, so after over half an hour talking to the people at the Alaska desk, I'm not booked on the 3:10 out of Portland to Dallas, I'll stay the night there, and take the 7:30 to Buenos Aires, which is perfect for me!
