Well I made it back alive! I did not sleep a whole lot last night... I was just catnapping when Jenna & Brooklyn came back to the room after having some drinks with Hellogoodbye and Hanson's backup players, so they had to tell me stories :) We went to sleep then and Jenna got up a couple of hours later to head to the bus station. I didn't really get to say bye :( Then I fell back asleep and when I woke up Christina was gone :( And Brooklyn was basically ready to leave haha. So I jumped up, got my quick shower and packed my things. Brook & I went to the airport together on the CTA. I will miss the train. And the shower in the hotel! That is the BEST shower head/water pressure I have EVER had in my LIFE. Anyway, got to the airport and said goodbye to Brooklyn :( Honestly I have met so many awesome people on this trip! I am going to miss them all so much!
Going through security at Chicago O'Hare sucks. It is so busy and crowded and they're REALLY picky about what to do (my shoes had to come of and HAD to go right on the conveyer belt, not in a bin. I swear every airport does it differently). And they're in such a rush that on the other side the stuff is like falling off the belt before people have time to get all their stuff. Frustrating. So I just grabbed my things, found a chair a ways away, and got dressed haha. Then I walked probably 2 miles to my gate. The good news - when I got there I saw McDonalds & Starbucks! Breakfast of champions :)
I timed everything pretty good, I had to wait about a half hour before the plane boarded. When I got on, the plane was half empty! Most empty flight I'd ever been on, most people moved around so we each had our own row! So as soon as we took off I put my head down on the seat next to me and died for 2 hours. I woke up because my ears started to hurt. Not prepping myself for landing made my ears not like me for a bit, but I got them okay by the time we were down.
My stopover was in Montreal. After getting off the plane I had to walk probably 3 miles to customs. Which took like 30 seconds to go through once I was there. I don't like how when you go through customs you have to go through security again. But I did. Canadian security = better because you can keep your shoes on. Stupid shoes. On the way to my gate I saw Tim Hortons (O, Canada!) so I stopped to get a muffin and apple juice, thanks to my Nanny's giftcard :) I had about 2 hours to wait here, you have to PAY FOR INTERNET (LAME) so I spent the time editing all my Paramore pictures from the weekend.
My last flight was short, just over an hour. I had my computer on for a bit finishing up the pictures, and by the time that was done my battery was dead and we were descending. Adeilia was at the airport with my car to get me. Tammy made us supper! So we drove back to Wolfville together and I think I talked her ear off about my amazing weekend. I don't think she minded, at least I hope not, haha. Got home around 8, so far I called Mom, unpacked, uploaded pics and a video, and took advil for my very sore throat. It feels like it might turn into strept... it better not. But if it did it would be okay because this weekend was WORTH IT.
Don't know when my next big concert will be... but I will remember this string of 3 for a VERY long time!
