The friendly skies

Oy vey! We woke up this morning at 3:30 AM (if you could call that morning) to catch our flight. After taking public transportation from my brother's apartment to the airport, checking our bags and going through security, we're now safely seated at Starbucks.

A perfect oatmeal w/ all the toppings and a banana from home was the perfect breakfast. And let's not forget some coffee (for him) and orange blossom tea (for her). Now we're just watching weary pajama-clad travelers mosey through the airport.

I'll check back in later on during our trip with fun Chicago photos, hopefully. But for now, I'll leave you with this: when we get on the plane and are taking off, I'm going to surprise the manfriend with a digital camera! I'm pretty sure he has no clue. We weren't really getting presents for each other this year because we bought our plane tickets to the midwest.

I'll let ya know how it goes! Hope your week is going well. My two day week was surprisingly productive and not too rough.

Have you ever surprised someone with an exciting gift?

Happy Holidays!
