The Airport- Part 2,

Hello all!

   So, if you haven't read the first Airport drama episode click {http://melodytravels.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-airport-part-1.htmt} 

   January 10th. 10:29am.
  
   "Then it hit me. Riley. 10:15. I glanced at my watch. 10:29. Paige must have seen my look since she told everyone to get up and push the carts.
   "We're late!"
   Now to some people, picking someone up late usually isn't a big deal. But first impressions are everything.
   "Are you all always late?" Natasha asked.
   Oops."  ~From The Airport- Part 1

   "Run! Come on y'all!" I yelled to our group- Paige, Lexi, Erika, Liliana, Natasha and I.

   At 10:37am, we all finally got to Riley's gate. We all looked around. Erika tapped my arm,
   "Is that her?" Erika pointed to a girl with wavy brown hair pulled back in a pony-tail, reading a Nancy Drew novel. 
   "I think so," I said, walking towards the young girl, "Hello." I smiled at her.
   "Hello. Are you Miss Melody?" She asked.
   "Yes. Ril-"
   "Yep! That's me! Do you all have any good book stores around here?"
   "Sure do!" I helped her get her carry-on and walked with her over to the rest of the bunch. After I introduced her to everyone, we walked over to the baggage claim. Riley pointed to the huge- I mean HUGE -trunk coming our way. Then, another one comes out behind it.
   "I don't even want to know how much those weigh," I whispered to Paige. She just shook her head in disbelief.
   How we even got the trunks on the carts, I don't know. I think we were at four or five carts by this time.

   At 10:35, we inched over to Alicia's gate. Yes! Earliness!
About ten minutes later, a girl with chocolate skin came over to us. An Alicia Fernandez. She and Erika are roommates and seemed to get along well.
   At 10:49, we pushed ahead to the baggage claim- again. And just let me say, another cart was in our future. Five good-sized dirty-black suitcases came out and got picked up by us. On to the cart they go!

   At 11:23, we still had time to kill before Charlotte was here. But, I was not going to be late. Off we went to Charlotte's gate.
   "Mel, can we make a bathroom stop?"
   We stopped.
   At 11:44, we waited for Charlotte's plane to unload. Ten minutes later, a pretty brunette came out holding a Louis Vuitton duffel bag. A smile came across her face when she saw us.
   "Bonjour. Melody?" She asked, pointing to me.
   "Hello Charlotte." I smiled.
   And to the baggage claim we went. More Louis Vuitton suitcases came our way.

   At 1:38pm, our last girl (Save Kaitlyn) Aspen Smith came out quite sleepy looking.
   More suitcases. Joy!

   At 2:36, we all were at the hotel. For ten girls, and only one night, it cost a lot!
   I swear, I thought we were going to break the elevator. I wanted to ask the girls what in the world was in their suitcases- gold?  
  
   We were all there (Save Kaitlyn and Lyric); Erika, Liliana, Natasha, Riley, Alicia, Charlotte, Aspen, Lexi, Paige and I. We all skyped with Lyric, and I told her (to her happiness) she'd be rooming with Charlotte.
   "Who am I rooming with?" Riley asked.
   I told them all that Liliana would room with Riley; Erika and Alicia; Natasha and Lexi; Charlotte and Lyric; Aspen and Kaitlyn; and Paige and I.

   More from the girls and I will be up this week! It's been eventful.

All for now,
Melody J. Chambers
