California, California, Here I come!

I'm finally in California for spring break. I feel like I've been planning this trip forever and can't believe it's actually here. Of course I've only been here for maybe an hour and a half. I'm waiting at Katie's apartment for her to get home from class. Then I'll feel like my trip has really started.
My adventure started off with a bang this morning. or maybe I should say a shout. I was waiting in line to check in with the airline and get my boarding pass. They were forming two lines depending on where you were going: Denver or Chicago. Apparently this older man in front of me didn't realize that. He finally got up to the kiosk and started raising quite the fuss. He was yelling that these people who got there 30 minutes after him had already checked in and he was quite upset about it. The man assisting him tried to calm him down but it was not successful. Meanwhile, he was scaring this lady who had never flown before. She didn't want to get on teh plane with him. So the lady assissting her, started telling the older man he was going to be known as the mean old man and no one would want to fly with him. This didn't seem to calm him down either. But he went on his merry way with his boarding pass and we were all on the plane together later. Then when I was going to board the plane I got flagged for what I thought was extra security. I was taken behind this wall to what reminded me of a cubicle. I thought they were going to search my purse and backpack but no they just swabbed my hands for explosive residue. So I guess I look like I make bombs or something. It was weird.
Then the guy sitting next to me was some kind of special agent who had papers where he was escorting a prisoner. Now I never saw the prisoner. I'm just nosy and saw the note he had from teh pilot and the official documents. My nosiness also led me to read this email or text he had on his blackberry. The font was huge it was just inviting me to take a look. He was broken up with over email or text right before the flight attendants told him he had to put all electronic devices up. He was a very nervous guy after that. He played with his phone the rest of the time even though I think they were suppose to be off. Then when we landed he was on it so fast trying to get in contact with the woman. Or at least that's what I'm thinking he was doing.
My day was off to an adventurous start! Sunny California, I'm here and ready for some fun!
