Traveling can be scary

As any frequent traveler is well aware of, always expect the unexpected when you are in the friendly skies. This morning I was finally able to get on a flight from Denver heading back home to Charleston at 6:15am MST. I didn't sleep too well last night as I was anxious to get home, and woke up at 3:15am to get ready and head to the airport. Not a lot traffic on the road at 4:00am but I was tired and rolled down all the windows to make sure I didn't pass out on the way to the airport. Returning my rental car to Hertz went smooth, hopped on the shuttle, checked in and managed to get through security at around 5:35am - just in time to get to my gate for boarding (it was a 757). On the flight, as I was busy working on my Macbook Pro and my iPhone listening to tunes, I hear a lot of gasps and people yelling from the back of the phone. I turned off my music and they were shouting for a doctor - some man had went into a seizure. I had never experienced anything like that before while flying, but a nice older guy who happened to be a doctor went and checked on him. Luckily the man was okay and we didn't have to make an emergency landing or anything like that, which is good when you are trying to get home as soon as possible.

The PA system here in Atlanta isn't working too well, which is making it interesting to hear announcements about my flight home. If all goes well, I should be safely on the ground in Charleston at 1:30pm. Wish me luck.
